I just noticed that my recycle button is not working. There is no backlight and the light in the middle of the button does not come on when I push it. Nothing happens with the airflow either. So it's completely dead. Also, there is no backlight in any of the CC buttons as you can see from the attached picture (it might seem like there is light but it's just light reflecting from outside).
I figured that a fuse must have blown.. I checked all the fuses but they were all good. I have no idea where to start searching for this fault. I've searched the forum and it seems I'm the only one that has experienced this exact problem.

For the record, the climate control buttons do work, the fan is running and it will redirect airflow if i push the buttons to direct it to different locations, it's just the backlighting that's not working in any of the buttons, and the recycle button that's completely dead.

Any ideas?

Blown bulbs.

There is a guide in Maintenece guides for ECC, I'd replace all 5 together.

The Recirc, officially a replacement switch, but you could solder a new one in, or replace the innards from a switch from a breaker.

what would cause all bulbs and the recycle switch itself to go dead at the same time? I mean, even if the light in the switch was out, the switch function itself should still work right? Seems like it's pritty easy to change the bulbs using that guide! 
I'm still puzzled by that switch though..

Sorry, I thought you said it was all working fine, just no backlighting?

Clarify what you mean by dead - just no backlighting, or the function doesn't work?

There is no reaction when I press the recycle button. Normally the yellow light in the middle of the switch would come on, and I would hear the little gears at work, changing the airflow, also the air pressure would increase a bit. But now it's completely dead. When I push the switch the light does not come on, and nothing happen.   

I don't know how this is wired up. Even if the lights are out the switch itself should work and engange the recycle function. The little light in the middle of the button itself i LED I think, and they don't tend to blow out so often. It seems like there is just no power going trough that switch at all?

ITs not an LED, its a bulb in that switch. However, doesn't sound right.

When you do the climate bulbs, check the wiring on the back of that switch, or pull switch out and take some measurements.

From memory, its push to make.
