Replacing Steering Control Lights?

[BoostN]

How do you replace the light's behind the place buttons on the steering wheel? My Seek one and one other has shot. Its annoying at night..

If i remember correctly you can't replace the lights. the only way you can get them is in the switches. I don't think the switches are very expensive and they are easy to replace.

Cool.
My volume light is shot and the button is wore.

Might have to get a new switch.

Do the old whitches just pop out?? I could take mine out here this weekend and have a look see if I have time. id like to put Blue Leds in, but If I cant get to them, wll I guess im SOL.

Thanks Noah. Do you know how they come out? A part # would be good to...

They just pop out. take a small flatblade screw driver and work them out of the hole. some of them are kinda tight cause the wires aren't very long. I'll have to check on the part #'s.

You might be able to take the switch apart and change the light inside, dunno for sure.:noidea: just have to try and see.

just pulled mine apart. Yes you can get to the LEDs.

as for replacing them, I havent gotten that far. Im trying to find a place where I can get quite a few of them to do as much of my interior as possible.

Cool, :beer: I guess locating the LED's to replace them with would be the hard part.

 

[durallymax]

Ya, seems to be the hardest part.

Try Radio Shack part # 272-1092. #7219 Micro Lamp. 12v/60mA.
I picked up a 2pk some time ago but haven't made the time to install.

Finally changed the bulbs and will post pics ASAP. Switch housing pops apart.
Soldering was really fine work on small circuit board, and was sure handy to have young eyes of 26 year old son around!

Noah, when you say it pops right out. Does the light actually come out of the steering wheel from the button itself, or does the houseing around it come out around it to?

 

[durallymax]

The entire button and housing will come out as an assembly. YOu have to further dissable that assebly on your becnh to get to the LEDs.

If i remember correctly you can't replace the lights. the only way you can get them is in the switches. I don't think the switches are very expensive and they are easy to replace.

I replaced mine (lamps). All eight of them. Removed the wheel, the button assy's, opened them up, unsoldered the old, soldered in the new, put it all back together in about 90 minutes.

Dealer wanted $48/ea for the controls. My bulbs were $1.79/pair.
