    2009 Star I put new bulbs in the heater control in the cab they still didn't work. I got out the test light and checked for power at the bulbs when I touched the bulb with the test light they worked take the test light away they stop. Bad ground somewhere? Or the heater panel screwed. Why all of a sudden have a grounding issue. I was thinking about running a jumper ground wire to one of the little bulbs to get them to work. But I don't want to Mickey Mouse the wiring. Lol
    But it's driving me crazy at night to see Noooooooo lights in the heater control panel.
    Any ideas?

    No idea of the problem, but my new Star does the same as the old one.......you can't seem to keep bulbs in the heater unit......and that little blue switch for the air conditioning......I keep replacing those. They will actually melt right through the switch????

    I noticed one day too mine lit back up for a bit, then went out again. So apparently Western Star has some kind of flaw going on here.
