Heater control illumination bulb replacement

mikel48 · 07-21-2008, 07:10 AM

I am a new member and have owned Toyotas since 1980 and bought one of the first 4runner SR5s in the States in '85 and I need help on how to replace the illumination bulbs for the heater controls on my 2004 4runner limited with the navigation system. I ordered and received a new bulb, but am having difficulty getting at the back of the switch. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Most the dash may need to come apart to get to the back of the control. Not to sure with the newer runners but i wouldnt doubt that you need to pull most the dash out to get to it.

Welcome BTW
