Revenant Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Hey all Have an old hyundai accent (2002 model) that's been a great little car for my purposes, but the light under the center panel seems to have burnt out. When it's dark in the AM and I have all the lights on, I can see my stereo no problem, but the light that is usually on behind the air/heat/vent controls is dark. Anyone have a suggestion on how to go about getting to this light and replacing it? Rev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revenant Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 I thought about the fuse, but couldn't find a design layout to show me which fuse it might be that would need to be replaced. I'll probably check that again this weekend to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
putts Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 check your owners manual for fuse locations does this help? http://www.hyundaiperformance.com/forums/accent-excel-s-coupe/64754-00-05-accent-radio-installation-56k.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revenant Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 From what I've read, it looks like I'll have to take the center console apart to access the light behind it. It's not worth the hassle just yet. I've got the dial positions memorized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antichrist Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It's most likely going to be your bulbs are bad, or you have bad connections. Try turning your lights on, and hit the dash in the area (dont break it, just enough to produce a strong vibration) and see if your lights come on a little, flicker, etc... If they flicker, your bulbs are good, but you have a bad connection. If after several times hitting the area you have no response, it's most likely the bulbs. But I'm guessing you should have 3 or more bulbs on the HVAC, and to have all 3 go out at once, is very rare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with dash problems 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
