88-98 Chevy/GMC AC & heater control pannel LED install

This is my 1992 GMC Sierra.

[@BryanJohnson81]

Correction on bulb size. I told a few people I used T5. They are actually T3. I do believe T4 will also work. Sorry if I screwed anybody up with bad information.

[@pappamccloud7150]

Will T4 Work for sure?

[@BryanJohnson81]

I do believe T4 will work. I used T3 and they were a bit small.

[@bucketseat3024]

Yep t3 are too small .and they only work on low lighting. Anything higher and they shut off ha

How can you trouble shoot to get your climate control to work mine doesn't work on my 93 and I can't figure out how to get it to work again

[@BryanJohnson81]

If it doesn’t work there must be a power source issue. You’d have to try to find a wiring diagram on it and test connections and capacitors

[@John-1984]

Just to let everyone know, the two circuit boards aren't glued together, it's just that the horizontal board "sticks" to the vertical boards foam cushion with age. So don't worry if you pop it off. Makes it easier anyway. I've replaced the bulbs in a lot of these trucks that way.

[@YouKnowanth]

I took like two bulbs out and put the same ones back in and they didn’t turn on

[@YouKnowanth]

You can change the color of the screen i did it in my 94 k1500. Its a white LED screen with a green plastic piece in front of it, i cut off the green plastic and I used a red see through plastic clipboard and hot glued it in its place and put it all back together and it looks factory!

[@BryanJohnson81]

That is true. I'll have to do that some day.

[@MartinAston00]

You can put purple stage light film in the little window and it will make the green led’s blueISH ... not a perfect match, but way better than the green. I did it to my 04’

[@skywalker2852]

Been looking for some insight on the lights in this module for a while - thanks for posting. I could not see bulb sockets from the outside of the module, so was worried they were printed into the board.

Hopefully it helped and you got the info you needed

Good video, thanks

[@dusterdriven]

You can change the green display... You take the green film from under the glass out and replace it with the color you want

[@BryanJohnson81]

Good to know. Thanks!

[@dusterdriven]

@@BryanJohnson81 you're welcome.. It's not the easiest thing to do.. But it's possible.. was a nightmare when I did mine... Was on pins and needles, worrying about breaking that tiny glass display.. just be careful and all should go smooth. I used "privacy film" for glass door showers, turned out "fair"

[@BryanJohnson81]

Brian Oconner thanks for the info! That’s good to know 👍🏼

[@dusterdriven]

I have to correct my statement... The plastic covering the LCD is green.. three LCD is white behind it.. it's easy to change.. pop the green plastic off the bezel and use a sticky film over the LCD... I will video mine in a few hours to show and tell... Originally thought the LCD was green, nope.. it's the plastic.

[@jlanks]

Hey Bryan, nice video. I’m working on a 93 1500 with the same heater control and cluster. In pulling the motherboard completely off the face of the heater control, to Change the green display, I noticed that each of the buttons have a solid green plastic window glued securely into them. Do your blue leds show through the green or do I need to try and removed them somehow? Same’s true with the display, it’s a solid green plastic window that looks like it’s secured in with a plastic weld. There is not a film I can just remove. They are all solid green plastic windows. Appreciate, your thoughts in advance!

[@danbegay3646]

if it's LED, the body indicates anode and cathode; reinstall the same direction., Thought they were incandescent myself. Recently I cleaned the temp control strip to make it work. Had to really press HARD.

[@adrianlaverick8040]

You can change the screen you just need to cut a new piece of blue plastic to replace the green. I've seen it done on the forums for these trucks

Yeah. I just saw that a couple weeks ago.

[@siegfriedramirez4204]

Do you know where I could find a blue screen for it ?

Hey bryan i hope you're having a great sunday. well i found out what was my dome light issue it was as simple as turning on the switch located next to the hatch release Walla got my courtesy lights on. though still i cant figure out why the power window buttons on all doors do not light up at night like they used to. thanks my friend for the help i will follow your videos take care...

[@BryanJohnson81]

Glad you figured out your dome light. I'm not sure why the window buttons aren't lighting. There has to be a bad connection somewhere.

[@yello4543]

If i wanna keep the green color for climate controls do i buy green leds or just regular white ones? TIA!

Hello Bryan : greetings from LA. I have a 94 C1500 suburban i've owned for 11 years, love my truck!!!! lately i noticed that all controls for my windows do not light up at night anymore. is it an issue with the master switch or do i have to change all bulbs in the buttons. Thanks!!!!

[@BryanJohnson81]

Juan Huerta. Does your dash lights work when you move the switch? If the dash and door lights don't brighten or dim I'd say it's the master switch. If it's only one door that doesn't work then Id say it's the door lights that are bad.

[@juanm.huertasr.601]

guess what, now my courtesy lights do not work. i checked the fuse for the courtesy lamps and it appears ok. all other lights and gauges work including radio.

[@BryanJohnson81]

[@TaylorMadejdm1975]

Ok thanks.. I guess I'll try some other sizes then, because I ordered blue LEDs from fleabay, (T5 and T10) The T10 fit in the gauge cluster just fine; the T5s that I got, would only fit the slightly smaller than T10 size bulbs that went for my "idiot' lights. I tried putting the T5s in the climate control panel, and they were just too large. Thanks again 👌

[@BryanJohnson81]

The T5 were to big for your climate control? That's interesting. Do you have the same style that I do?

[@TaylorMadejdm1975]

Yeah the exact same as yours with the green lcd display and the push buttons.. Not sure why either. i think I'm just gonna order some T3, T4 and T4.2 and see which of the 3 will fit snug in there and hopefully one of them will work. Thanks for all your help. I'll let you know how it goes...

[@BryanJohnson81]

I'd be interested to know what size fits yours. Don't know why they are too big for yours and small in mine. Unless I just forgot what size bulbs I got.

[@kyleharris7221]

U ever find out which size fits yours?

[@underh20lobo]

I also ordered the T5's and they are way too big, I'm wondering if the T1.5 is the right one? I've seen a few places mention that size ...

[@rewardboy1]

Can you dim your lights using LEDs?’s in the past I haven’t been able to dim cluster gauges after switching to LED’s

[@BryanJohnson81]

You can get dimmable LEDs but the majority of them aren’t.

[@tonyhawk8461]

How did you change the colours of your gauge needles?

[@BryanJohnson81]

You have to take them off, sand off the yellow on the back side of them and then paint them what ever color you want. Before you take them off you have to make sure and run your truck until everything is up to operating temperature and take a picture of where they are so you know where to put the needles when you put them back on. Obviously you will have to run your truck again to get everything back to operating temp before you put them back on.

[@harryjones2420]

I just pushed the ac button and the lights went out. No AC, everything else works fine. Sound like the unit went bad?

[@BryanJohnson81]

Are there some good instructions somewhere on how to remove this unit from the dash ?

It’s simple. All you do is pull off the trim piece and there are 4 screws holding it in. Take those out and it will slide right out so you can unplug it.

Thanks for replying so quick! +1 Sub. So what about the dash bulbs? 4x4 converter bulbs? The T3 is just for the heater control panel right? Can you supply what bulbs you all used for everything?

The dash gauge bulbs are T10 with 1/2” socket and the turn signals, engine, brake light etc are T5 and the 4x4 lights are 194.

[@TopMinecraftMods]

How many bulbs do you need to buy for each component? (So sorry for the amount of questions..)

[@BryanJohnson81]

Ask all the questions you need. You need 6 T10’s, at least 6 T5’s, if you have a diesel you will need a couple more. 3 T3’s. 2 194’s. I can’t remember what the other interior lights are. Hope that helps
