Stereo Unit Lights

MSUChevyMan · May 24, 2004

I've got a 99' Silverado, with the CD player factory stereo setup. Some of the lights on that panel, the #'s 3 and 6, and the Seek buttons have burnt out. Is it possible to change those? Could it be a fuse? Or am I just gonna have to deal with a couple of them being out? It's no big deal because I know where each button is by touch, but it's kind of annoying.....Thanks!

Here are a couple of threads dealing with that issue.

One

Two

Reading through them tells me that if you can't solder, you are going to have to send it off, or buy a new one.

or (adding to wingnuts list) option 3 - live with it!

thats the option i have chosen so far. seems like too much hassle to change out, and seeing that all the numbers are worn off anyways, i cant see the numbers in the daylight either!

I also have lost lights on my ac controls - indoor and outdoor air buttons, and the rear defog button...

On my old truck, I had lights 2 and 5 burn out on the radio in addition to two lights on the hvac controls go out. Both head end units were replaced under my extended warranty (GMPP).

c5vette - how did you get them to replace that stuff under the gmpp?? I didnt even try because lightbulbs are listed under the items not covered? but, if i can get them replaced for free i would definetly do that!
