Backlight on climate control/Gauge cluster in 94 civic

The backlight has stopped working in my climate control...I do a good bit of night time driving, so it makes it rather difficult to screw with it (Often use cell phone illumination and change it that way, but), it's more or less a minor annoyance. Is there anyway I can just take it out of the dash and replace the bulbs in it?

And my speedometer does not work to any avail. Replaced speed sensor/etc. Still doesn't work, so my guess is it's somewhere in the cluster, so I'm just going to replace it. What's the best/easiest way to remove the cluster and install a new one?


Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

check ebay for a cluster. for the dash, you gotta pull out the pieces and change the bulbs in the back.

How do I pull the pieces out to pull the climate control is what I'm after...can I just pry around it with a screw driver or do I need to unscrew something?

**New here!

I'm relatively new to cars, but I'll throw out the "make sure the computer's plugged in before you buy a new one because it won't turn on" answer.

Check the fuses, make sure none of them are done
Also, if you do decide to get a new cluster, a lotta people go integra. Don't remember what year/model, but I'm sure you could google a cluster DIY

Re: Backlight on climate control/Gauge cluster in 94 civic

Hey, I just performed this climate control bulb replacement in my 95. You gotta take the ashtray console out, and then take your stereo unit out as well. Only then can you access the screws to the climate controller from the bottom (like 3 screws). I just slid the climate controller out (no need to pull it all the way out) , pry off CAREFULLY the sliding *****, and then you can take the facade off...which is a bit tricky bcs there is one screw that faces INTO the dash (i ended up breaking it--doesn't make any difference now bcs there are clips holding the face). Then you should see the bulbs. It was quite tricky finding the right bulbs however.
