Yep. I just ruined the slide resistors trying to get the knobs off. Why I'm here. Ordered a replacement that doesn't have the defrost button. Hoping I can get the knobs off the replacement and discover whether it has the switch and light for the defrost - if so, swap face plates. Replacing the bulbs with 5-15v LEDs (internal drop resistors). Getting the knobs off - the key is heating them up with a heat gun? The old ones were really on there.
@@Car-Radio-Bulbs is there any way to buy a replacement board in case I break it? im hoping a heat gun will do the trick but only one light is out on mine. i just replaced all the servos and lights on the cluster with great success but old plastic parts and board prying scare me. Think doing your technique with the allen wrench and alot of added heat will do the trick?
After watching your video I decided to give it a whirl. I had no lights working on my climate control panel. The slide knobs came off easy with a heat gun (didn't even have to support the switch). The 6v bulbs in the kit you sent me were taller than the originals but there wasn't any clearance issues so I continued on. This was my first attempt at soldering on a circuit board. After re-installing and checking all the functions everything worked great including the 8 new bulbs. Thanks for the kit and video.
I serviced one today and in case anyone is still wondering on the left side of the temperature slides the top pad is positive for that light and on the right side of the slides the bottom pad is positive.
It would be GREAT to see just how you changed the bulbs. That is the hardest part; soldering or whatever you did to replace them. It would really help to see that.
Thank you for this video. I recently had my instrument cluster rebuilt, and decided that it was time to replace the lights in my heater controls. They have been M.I.A. (missing in action) for a few years now! I also have a dead pin in my fan control( no power to the fan when the knob is set on 5) I will be fixing/ replacing that as well. 🤘
did u get fan speed problem fixed? I had 2 speeds not working and it was something I fixed under dash / passenger side but been so long ago can't remember what it was I replaced right off. I know I found vid here on U-tube to fix it. it was something that got hot and burnt causing fan speeds not to work. was glad I found and fixed as I think could have caught fire and burnt up my truck. hope this helps if u ain't fixed already
Cheap solution is using a LED and adding a resistor, I used 3mm for the two in the center and the rest 5mm all with 330 ohm 1/4W resistors, it was a bit annoying, and I do have some bright spots (maybe using the plastic covers would help), but good enough. Thanks for the info and the pinout for testing it. The slider knobs came off easily using your tip.
Well your cheap solution is just that CHEAP junk from China anytime you can buy a hundred led's for under $10 they are junk. If you want a quality led you got to pay a little more like the ones we sell they are made in the USA and they do not require resistors and there are no hot spots or bright spots as you call it. Just perfect even lighting.
I have replaced a number of light bulbs on circuit boads....especially instrument panels and I have found a standard kitchen fork works great for removing the needles on the IP... (IE..... the speedometer needle)........
A fork doesn't work very well on this climate control they are pressed on from the factory. You might get lucky but if you pry to hard you will pull the sliders right off of the board.
Yes; I also wanted to see you remove and install bulbs. My first try at replacing bulbs, I ruined the board. Now I have my replacement and it has four bulbs out. So well give it another try. Thanks for a good video.
Here is a tip on how to keep from breaking the slide switch. Take an align wrench that will fit through the slot. And put the short end in and turn it so that it goes across the switch. Make sure you are at the top or bottom of the slot. Then push down just enough to hold the switch down while you pry up on the nob with a flat end strew driver.
How did you determine that the 6 bulbs were 6 volt bulbs and the other 2 were 12 volt? I am curious as to why there are 6 volt bulbs in a 12 volt system?
I have an 03 trailblazer and it has the same control panel...about ready to repair the instrument cluster due to bad stepper motors....came with LED replacement dash lights. I am assuming that if I replace the originals with LEDs they will probably no longer dim correctly because LEDs don't use the same kind of dimmer as an incandescent bulb....are the original dash bulbs incandescent?
Wow!! Thanks! I have been looking for exactly this video for years!! Glad I checked again today. You sir, are awesome! PS what would be the LED bulb equivalents for the 6 and 12 volt bulbs?
what did u use for power slpy. to test bulbs before reinstalling control unit? sorry if old news just found ur vid and going to get bulb set from u once i can power up bulbs before install unit thanks great vid and glad u sell products needed as well
I got climate leds installed the ones in the middle, my only problem is the other 6 on the knobs. Do i need to apply solder to them in order for them to light up? Just trying to test which way to install before i solder but not getting anything, the lights i bought say they're specifically for the climate control
Well I made a huge mistake and accidentally used the ground wire voltage reader to determine which one is positive and negative on the circuit board which caused a little smoke and the button lights to go out. The ac still works on my 2004 silverado but no button lights. I even tried a unit from a junk yard, same result. Any ideas? Thanks!

You could’ve showed when replacing the bulbs when soldering which is the positive & which is the negative on the bulbs !
It doesn't matter what is positive and what is negative with incandescent bulbs which is what this video is about.
Are the lights below the video the ones you used

Throwing a hail
Mary out . Need help on an 05 suburban front overhead climate control . The lights won’t work . Just bought the truck. Replaced the bulbs and none work. Bought another controller , same thing. All I can think of is the controller is wrong and the pinouts are different , or there is a broke wire to it. (I doubt it) anyone point me to the wiring diagram for the head unit so I can jump power to the thing and make sure the lights will work? The controls work fine , just no backlights.
Read further down.. Clyde Hughes gives a tip on how to remove the knobs.

Mine come on and off intermittently along with the headlight switch. I just have to tap them, and they come on sometimes, not always. How can I fix it?

How is it that these bulbs burn out, left and right,yet the SOBing BRAKE,ABS,CHECK ENGINE lights NEVER do???
There all 5mm or they are different side
I use a 12 volt power supply that I bought from radio shack.
audioxpress 1 is that the same as a 12v battery?
Ha dang it wanted to see the soldering part lol
Try metric sockets instead of standard
Price to do this on mine ?
Here is a link to our service.......carradiobulbs.com/store-4/delco-03-06-chevy-gmc-truck-heater-control-panel-illumination-service1/
do you need a special soldier gun to do this?
No you just need a soldering iron.
What a nightmare. Think I'll just get the whole works at the junkyard
There is a good chance your going to have the same problem from a junkyard unit.
How did you get it out of the truck??
sarai isawsome It was already out of the truck it was one that I repaired for some one.
audioxpress 1 ok, thank you. I figured out how to get it off. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Sometimes it's all in the mind lol!
You might want to correct the screw size 13/16 is a large socket.
Honestly, car companies suck making this that complicated
Well tanks a lot for giving out the part number 😒
There's a link in the description to where you can get bulbs. There is no GM part number because GM says you can not replace the bulbs they want you to replace the whole unit.
Here is a link to the replacement bulbs we sell part number 1830.....audioxpress.org/listing/2003-2007-chevy-silverado-tahoe-suburban-manual-climate-control-bulbs/
Extremely fast delivery
You didnt show how to remove the bulbs? Your video just cuts to the new bulbs being in???
I assume if you are trying this you already know how to unsolder the light bulbs. I guess I should make a update showing how to solder and unsolder .
