How do you relace the LEDs behind the heater control buttons on a 2001 Buick Park Avenue?

IF they are replaceable, you need to remove the panel to access them.

it just so happen my '98 buick park avenue had same problem. . it all started when the battery was dead; left sitting for three weeks. i used slow charger overnight at 2 amp setting, work fine until noise coming from inside the dash, sound like actuator trying to close a valve; before this happened I did disconnected my negative cable to install an electrical item. i tried troubleshooting every conceiveable search on fuse, loose wiring and ohmmeter; the noise was driving me crazy. still my battery was losing charge when i left parking few days, now another problem; driver side has heat and passenger has cool air, and can't get the heat or temperature change. even when i shut off climate system, hot air still vent through the driver side even when the control is off. i went online try to read up other identical problems. one guy mentioned disconnect the battery positive cable and leave the negative intact for 30 minutes; wrong! wrong! you never disconnect positive cable until negative cable first disconnected, law of electrical theory. what I did was disconnected neg (-) cable, then disconnected positive (+) cable , waited 40 minutes; reconnected pos (+) cable, then the negative (-) cable. be very careful not making metal to matel contact when tighten cable's nuts. this will reset the computer brain to original setting. That'd eliminate the actuation noise; the temperature malfunction heater on driver side and cool air on passenger side are working perfect. one more thing, the negative cable was not tightened when I disconnected the neg cable to install an elect. item. this could have caused changes in voltage going to the computer box. hope i didn't bore you guys but i'd find many similar cooling and blower motor problems posted on buick forum. i hope this information help. make sure both battery cables are tightened whenever loosen for any reason. fireside
