scootertrash19 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Went out this morning, started the SS and noticed the headlight switch bulbs and the radio knobs didnt light up, on/off and tune knobs, anybody know if these can be fixed, has the stock Bose 6 disc, would like to keep the original radio if possible, any help or suggestions would be great, just turned 63k miles.

superredss Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hey I don't mean to hijack your thread but my control button lights on the steering wheel haven't worked for months. If these are also repairable, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatTallCanadian Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 you'll have to open it up and solder in new bulbs, may as well do LED swap while you ahve it open. Same goes for the steering wheel controls. GM will sell you all new buttons but its too expensive, just do the led conversion IMO, looks much better and its very easy to do. Costs like 10 bucks to do the whole truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatTallCanadian Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 It's very easy to DIY tbh. Not to try and pull a sale away from ya Silverado777 lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cramer Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Punch the face of the radio. That's what I did when mine went out, and i'll be damned if it hasn't gone out again. I was hoping that it was totally done so I would have had an excuse to get a new one, but I guess I didn't punch it hard enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I don't need to do is the radio cuz I have a double din I'm not worried about anyone trying to pull a sale from me. Everyone wants it but no one wants to pay for it lol. And I am talking about the whole thing. Here are a few pics of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverado777 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Holy Crap!!! Dude that looks really good!! Thank you sir! They are kinda crappy photos since it was with my phone. It was pretty time consuming since I fabricated a lot more LED's in some areas so that I wouldn't have any hot spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the buttons on the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
