Is the heater control area supposed to be back-lighted? I'm talking about both radial control knobs (fan speed and temperature) and the output slider selector below them. My '85 Brat isn't and it seems like it should be.

Yes, theres a couple bulbs in there and they are on the same harness. Perhapse they came unplugged, or just burnt out. Not hard to replace, but you will have to pull the panel.

Yeah - the panel is pretty easy to remove. There's a few bulb holder's back there. Same with the ashtray - there's a light in there too and I think another in the cigarette lighter.....

That heater console was literally the one interior part I didn't have out when I re-constructed this Brat!

Does the radio console need to come out to get to the heater console out?
