Default heater a/c control head problems

My 2007 Aspen has 49,000 miles on it and the right side of the heater a/c ATC control head does not illuminate. Anyone else have this problem and if I pull it out can I repair it myself? The dealer says the whole unit must be replaced (no warranty of course for $338. Please let me know..thanks

ok, ..
are we discussing Backlighting, or "display" on an Auto temp control.....

Typically, they cannot be dissasembled for repair, and tru the entire unit is replaced,

I have found several siyuations where a bit of Patience, and a solderng Iron will remedy a lighting issue like yours..But be warned, I have also seen them NEVER work again after being taken apart.....

That all has to be weighed between your wallet, your ability, and how much it really matters to you that it doesnt light up.

If You wanted Dealership Service, You wouldnt Go To "Discount Quik Lube" , So why did you Walk into a dealership Expecting QUIK LUBE PRICING????

Ma'am, It costs so much money, because ...I CAN, And you CANNOT, And It matters Not to Me, Because I HAVE A RIDE HOME.

Djinn, is this a common problem? I notice some of the green lighting on my auto a/c unit is turning white - not the display itself, but the backlighting behind the buttons. Maybe it's always been that way and I'm just now noticing...

Yeah, unfortunately, . If you do alot of night driving, with the dash and controls on max, The GREEN "OVERLAY" will tend to fade from the heat of the bulbs
