jrhume55 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I have read several topics about the location of the illumination control module which controls the dash lights. Where is it located? On my 2002 LL Bean it's not under the diver's side dash or behind the stereo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Lucky Texan Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 yeah, I went thru that for a while, thankfully, ours has been behaving recently. I still haven't put my eyes on it. I have one ready to swap though. It may be behind the radio, some say pass side, some say driver's. I have an old thread about it somewhere....

jrhume55 Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 I looked under the driver's side dash and it's not there. I also removed the stereo and nothing is behind it on a 202 LL Bean Outback. Today I will look behind the glove box. Let everyone know what I find. Wherever I find it I will take pictures of the location! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrhume55 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 The illumination control for my 2002 LL Bean is located behind the left kick panel on the passenger side. Held in place on a metal support column it's a little tricky to get to with a 10 mm. wrench without removing the black panel. Get a hold of it and loosen a little and you should be able to spin it off with your fingers. I've added pics and an excellent diagram I found on the Internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrhume55 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Picture file was too big to load! You can tell though fro the diagram that the module is located at the bottom. If you take out the screw in the black panel you will be able to pull the panel back to get a wrench on it to get it loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
