I just purchased a used 2005 TL, and I love it so far. However, i noticed that all of the climate control lights around the stereo and also all of the lights on the steering wheel are out. It seems strange that all of these lights would burn out, although because I bought it from a dealership I don't know if they all went out at once. Should I buy some bulbs and try replacing them? Could it be a blown fuse that I missed? Is this car prone to this kind of problem because I see another lone bulb on the dash not glowing as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

 

If you bought it from an Acura dealer, go back and let them know they sold you a car with burnt out lights and get them to replace the bulbs.

Here's why you might want to see if the dealer will do it first...

 

I am about to tear into my steering wheel and dash to fix all my burned out lights. If you have one out in the center console, change them all. Same with the steering wheel. Doesn't make sense to take the chance that one you didn't change, will burn out.

 

I bought it from a Mitsubishi dealership that got it as a trade-in. They had a note on the vehicle about how "nothing needed to be replaced other than some bulbs," and I assumed this meant they had already replaced them. Unfortunately I misunderstood and I don't think they will help me out on this one, but it might be worth a shot. I may just have to take it apart myself. I still think it is weird that ALL of the bulbs on the center console and the steering wheel would be out. Hopefully it isn't something else, although I don't know what it could be if the buttons still work.

 

Given the car's age, I'm not surprised they're all out. It's common and many owners and dealers don't address it.
