Default Climate Control back lighting

My climate control temperature control backlight seems to be out. I can press it for AC and the yellow indicator lights up. It performs the indicated function - hot or cold temperatures.

Is there a replacement bulb/led or does require dealership repair? Or has it never illuminated?
Thanks

The whole thing (all three controls/***** are one unit) needs replaced, unless you know how to solder. You might be able to find one on Ebay cheaper than the $200+ the dealership will charge. Luckily I had mine replaced just before I passed 50,000.

I just had mine replaced too! I'm milking my warranty for everything I can get before it runs out.

If you're good enough with an iron to solder micro LED's you can pull it off, but I just said screw it and let the dealer handle it.

The purpose of my post was about the backlight showing the cold/hot (blue/red) indication. The amber light will come with or without the light system on. The replacement seems to be in $400+ range, so this may remain this way for awhile.

Thanks for all the feedback.

I have the same problem but now another problem came on the stability system light came on and i looked at the leds above the climate control dash,
it was off, same as the climate contol.
Today my 4x4 up lock its out im guessing it will keep buning out until i replace the thing?
Does the dealer when yall say replace the whole control assebly doesbit include the upper control aswellvor wouldbi have to pay extra for those?

I bought a set of three lightbulbs for $15 off eBay that are direct fit replacments for the heater unit. The PITA is opening up the controls box to change them out.
