the lights on my A/C panel wont turn on? everything else around it works

well as long as you are getting cold air I would not worry about changing it. I have a 1999 lhs and none of my interior lights work all the time they come on when they please. I looked at the cost of a new panel and for just the heater/A/C it is $250-$350 and that is after a 20% discount.
