Does the 2002 1500 have lights in the climate controls ? I ask because mine doesn't or they are burned out. It's hard to see/adjust the climate controls in the dark.

 

My 04 does. When I bought my truck used three yers ago, my climate area was real dim. I pulled it out and I think there is three bulbs back there. All three bulbs worked but they where black on the ends ready to burn out. I went to the dealer and bought three new ones and I can see my climate control at night.

 

Eff the dealer, while I'm in there I'd just swap out the lights for blue LED's and convert the climate controls to a nice blue.

I used to modify all this stuff for Cougars, no reason I couldn't make my ram window switches/climate controls and everything else blue.
