Radio, Steering Wheel, and HAVC lights out

Radio, Steering Wheel, and HAVC lights out

Postby Rudycfh [OP] » May 17 2011, 3:12am

Hello, I just picked up a 06 Silverado Crew Cab with 5.3 on Wednesday the 11th. Friday was the first time I drove the truck and night and all but two buttons on the radio don't light up, all but one of the steering wheel lights don't light up and half of the HAVC don't light up. I don't even know where to begin to look. Thanks for any help. Besides this minor problem, I love this freaking truck!!

When i bought my truck, i had the same issue but was covered under my extended warranty. U will need to replace the switches on your steering wheel. They are about 28 bux a piece last time i looked, and you have to take the steering wheel off to change em out, due to the wires being fished in there. As for the HVAC and radio. Ur gonna have to either live with it the way it is, or get another radio and Hvac from a junk yard. You cant replace just certian lights. They are in a sealed unit.
Crap, my hampster fell off the wheel and it broke its leg.
