The dashboard was updated between the grande. And later models 2010 The knob pulls a cable that moves a flap in the dash.. So a jammed flap is a possibility. Here are some links: https://www.fiatforum.com/punto-evo-2012-guides/459516-change-bulbs-behind-hvac-control-unit.html?p=4488799 Or https://www.fiatforum.com/grande-punto-guides/294064-replacing-bulbs-heater-controls-3.html?p=4497599 Any questions.. please reply to a thread in the section relevant to YOUR CAR.
