I bought a 2000 Cirrus over the weekend. There are just a few annoying
electrical problems:

1. Power driver seat will not move forward. It is like the motor on
the inside track is not working. Is there a way to find out what is
wrong?

2. After door is closed, the dome light takes 30 seconds to dim and
turn off. Is this normal?

3. There is no lighting in the A/C and Heating control panel. The
lights for the A/C and window defogger buttons do come on when pushed.

Do I need to remove the entire control head to replace the bulbs, or
find out what is not connected?

Thanks,

Kirk Matheson

Some are made to be replaced, others you need to purchase the complete
assembly, remove it and see if the front panel pops off after you take the
knobs off

It looks like the front panel can be removed. If I removed the radio,
what is involved in removing the AC/Heat control unit? Are there
cables to disconnect for the tempurature and vent/recirculate knobs?

Thanks,

Once you remove the panel most of your questions will be answered. U will
not have to disconnect the cables. Remove the knobs, loosen the control
head from the dash and pull it slightly out. Then pop off the bezel.
According to my catalog the bulb part number from the dealer is 5003937AA
and there are 2 of them.

That is what I wanted to know. I will try to take it out myself.
