pull the cover off your heater control assembly and check to see if the
bulb has fallen out of it's holder. I had the same problem on my 82,
discovered it when I was changing the fan switch. the bulb and wiring were
just hanging under the dash-I just slipped them back in place, presto! I
had light again.
