hi there,

The back light of my 2001 Acura MDX's temperature display (the small display in the middle of front panel) is not working any more. The display still works, as I can adjust up or down the temperature and the display shows the change. The problem is the back light of the display, so at night I can't see the reading any more.

Is this just a matter of replacing some bulb? I can't find any info in the owner's manual.

Any info/pointer appreciated.
Thanks

David

yes it is a simple bulb problem and it won't be in the owners manual.
replacing it only takes 5 minutes but you have to remove the display,2 vents and brown trim panel as one piece. it's held on by clips
