Default burnt out "ch" button light

I tried searching the forum for help, but there wasn't much luck.
The "ch" button light is burnt out. Does anyone know how I can replace it. Is it a special bulb and how can I access it? Do I need to remove my instrument cluster?
thanks in advance.

You are in for an adventure!
This is not going to be an easy fix. You must pull the whole instrument cluster out. This may involve dropping the steering column if you can't get it out far enough to get a screw driver behind it. Then you need to unclip the wiring harnesses from the back to the radio remote panel and remove about 3 screws. This will allow you to take that panel right out. From here, you can undo all the screws on the back to pull the backing plate off and expose the back of the "CH" button. Then you can access the little bulb and use it to compare and get a new one.
I'd wait till they are all burnt out before doing this.

thanks Dave. Yeah maybe I'll leave it alone, but I know little things like that will bug me. Chances are I'll be bored one day and mess with it and break something.

If you have instructions, it's actually pretty easy to do. I had to take it apart when I got my djqube hu controller.

Woodson must be getting to be a really good wrench to call it "easy". I would consider that "little" job to be a PITA.
Tim, you're gonna wrench for me from now on.

My temperature dial light is burned out. Perhaps I'll wait for a snowy day to fix it?
