Backlighting on AC/Heater control panel

Can someone please point me in the right direction? My sons 2002 supercrew has no backlight on the air conditioner/heater control panel. I have checked fuses to what I believe control's it but have not found any blown. Thanks

If the ash tray, radio, power window / door lock switch ( if equip'd ) and others still still work, it is not a fuse.
So with what you seem to have found with the fuses, I would say it is burnt out bulbs.

To remove the trim panel around the radio, download the VSM ( Vehicle Specific Mount ) directions in PDF from Pro-Fit International ( www.pro-fit-intl.com).

This should be the one ( right click save as ):

Most will just open th HVAC vents and pull back, just be careful that the spring clips could be very stiff ( if never pulled in 9 years ) and you could damage the trim panel. Best to follow the directions above.

Once the trim panel is off, you can unbolt the HVAC to access the bulbs.
