My trac control light doesnt work, so i never know when my trac is on or off.
Can someone tell me how to replace this light and what bulb? Every time i search i just get trac off/abs light on problem results.
 


Remove the dic and twist out old bulb and twist in new bulb. They are just 194 twist in's. Might as well replace all three since you're back there.
 
Pull off the dash trim and there is a clip on the left side of the DIC. Push that in and it comes right out.
 
Thank you. Not knowing when i have tc on or off is really frustrating haha. Will do this asap. I think my trim is cracked though. I can see a small crack in it going over the gauge cluster...
 
Very possible. You probably also have some missing trim clips that have been broken off from a previous removal. Mine has 2 missing ones but still sits on there just fine.

I thought mine was out but once I got the DIC out the bulb was fine. It was actually the 2 contact fingers on the bulb housing not making a good connection to the PCB that is on there. Cleaned that up, cleaned the bulb holder contacts and bent them down slightly and reinstalled. Wala. TC bulb works fine.
 




Okay the clips literally dont fit under the plastic little guard thing theyre under. Taking off the dic faceplate i mean. wtf? I have all of them off but two because the two on the left dont fit under the plastic.
 
do i have to get a blue bulb or what? cause my gauges are all blue now cause i put a glow face plate on that and i want to match
 


I had to bend the plastic guard things t oget them out. But yeah, one bulb is broke. One is there. Two are missing. How ****ed am i?
Nevermind just one is broken i think. I dont think two belong in the two empty holes.

Should i order this one? The bulb is literally shattered in the blue base so i wouldnt be able to get it out. Im sure it was burnt out in the first place and someone else tried to change it and broke it.

Wow wtf in the end it came out to be 20 dollars with shipping. **** that. Do they have the blue base things at autozone?
