Interior lights are out

Postby ricka182 [OP] » Sep 14 2011, 3:45pm

I have a bunch of buttons that no longer light up as they should. A few on the steering wheel for the radio controls, and also on the radio and blower controls, the lights are out. Not all, but about half of them. Not sure how to fix this issue. I checked all fuses, and they are good. Not all at once either, I just notice them as they go out over time..

Any suggestions?

You should be able to take off the dash cover and get to those bulbs behind the dash. (Haven't done this on a "newer" body style, but it was easy enough on my old '90 Z-71. Of course, many things could have changed since then!). As for the lights on the steering wheel and radio, I know a guy with a Tahoe that was doing that and he got a quote from the dealership to replace the LED's in there and it was outrageous. Somewhere in the $700-$800 range. Hopefully there's another way... :?

Well for that kind of cash, screw it. The actual instrument dash panel is okay, but the button for the radio voulme, some presets, and the blower controls are out. I'll take a look under the wheel later today if I can figure out how to remove it. I need to get a repair guide for my truck.. it's about time I suppose.
