Just a little update on this issue... I just so happened to open the May- June=- July-2008 issue and read an article written by Steved..... where he explained the same bulb issue..... well I have the dual climate control which means the bulb is soldered in... . Well I then had a kinda brainstorm I had a bunch of bulbs from my 96 Ram, I had to buy them from the dealer, I grabbed one and removed the plastic base and guess what? same bulb I removed the old bulb and re soldered the new bulb works perfect!!!! Oo. Oo.
