Ok all ive got a fix for the radio knob lights.. it takes about 1hour and 1.49 at radio shack.

you'll need a t-10 torx and a 7mm socket and a trim tool ( or whatever you can improvise) and radio shack part number 271-007 (2.2k ohm 1/8 what resistors) they come in a pack of 5..you need 4.

 

FIRST OFF I'M NOT LIABLE FOR ANYTHING, do these repairs at your own risk.

step 1- remove crome trim from around radio and ac controls

step 2- remove 4 bolts securing radio/ climate control unit and remove assembly from dash

step 3- unplug radio and ac harnesses

step 4- remove 13 T-10 torx screws securing cover to back of screen amd sit to cover to the side

step 5- disconnect ribbin from radio circuit board to control board and lift control board forward on screen

step 6- remove 6 T-10 torx screws holding radio control board in and sit scree. Assembly to the side.

step 7- locate 4 slots missing resistors ( THANKS GM) R30, R32, R34 and R36.

step 8-solder resistor to solder joints on circuit board.

step 9- reassemble and enjoy your lights!
