Steering Wheel Lights Out

[SDGTP99]

The audio control buttons on the LH side of my steering wheel went dark. Guess I have a light out. Best way to go about fixing that?

I have the write up bookmarked on my home computer. I will post it when I get home. You have to open the switch and solder in a replacement bulb. You can get the replacement bulb at Radio shack. Or you can go on ZZP's site and look for the LED replacement controls.

I found a write up on ClubGP (can I say that here?)

ClubGP:

I bought a set off a member here, but went to put it in and that one is burned out also. Thinking of stopping by radio shack and try to get a replacement..

Good Luck...

easy to do, done it to both mine, not that hard.

ha, easy said, try replacing the lights on my shifter in a 04+

 

[SDGTP99]

ooh, you hafta take the entire center console out for that right?

 

[offroadfury6]

lol you guessed it...but you need a special tool down under the console to finally release it...when I was running my hot wire from my battery to the trunk under the carpet, I had to cut a small hole to run it under the carpet cause I couldnt get the whole center out...but you can never tell unless you took the side plastic off

I been wanting to change my gear LED's but there's a certain tool you need...unless there's a way to release that particular part...

 

[SDGTP99]

don't know how to do that on the newer models. Ive had to do it on mine to put in new carpet. Total pain in the ass it was = /

 

[offroadfury6]

yeah, i have no idea what kind of tool I need for that center console, but I tried with a flat-head, nothing....some how it releases it...but If i could ever get it ou, I could replace my LED's....until then, its Black-out shifter!!! good thing my DIC tells me what gear i'm in lol

 

[SDGTP99]

uhm not sure on that model but there could be bolts under the center console holding it down

 

[offroadfury6]

yeah once u take out the bolts inside the console, there's this metal plate thing with a square hole...its complicated...

 

[SDGTP99]

bolts under the hole?

 

[offroadfury6]

yeah I think sooo but somehow that metal plate has something to do with it...

 

[SDGTP99]

Hmm w/o looking @ it I have no idea. Cut off the plate??

 

[offroadfury6]

its been a while, that could be possible though lol...I wish I was at home, I could get you some pics...I wanted to go "all blue" with the inside LED's anyways
