    Some of the display lights from the GM Delco stereo of my 2006 Chevy Silverado were burned out, and I found this video very helpful! The bulbs from the power and tuner knobs WERE tricky to get out. But the rest of the bulbs were not a problem. Thanks so much for posting this! It was MUCH cheaper to do it myself!

    Thanks for the video. It saved me a ton of cash and was easy to do. Can you edit the video to show exactly where to apply voltage. I figured out but that was the only part that wasn't clear. Basically you apply 12 volts using a battery to either side of any bulb leads once they are installed. It's easier if you leave 2 leads uncut for the test then trim once all the bulbs check out.

    Question: So I replaced some of the buttons on my GM radio. Obviously I had to take apart faceplate and I thought I put it back together as you did above. Prior to changing the buttons I had several lights already not working. Now all the lights dont work after reinstalling in SUV. The LCD still works and radio functions. Do you have any idea what may have happened or what I can do? Great video.

    Outstanding video except for the assumption parts. The Polarity thing seems as important as everything else you demostrated. Your answer to a previous response made sense to some but not all. Also how you were able to test before reinstalling would be a great demo, sense you have done electronic repair you are set. Again great descriptions and explanations. My eyes are awful and I cannot see the flat side of bad or replacement LED. Still great Job!

    • @mike7958
      @mike7958 9 лет назад +1

      +Johnny Jay Polarity is not important on incandescent bulbs. The only time polarity matters is when you're swapping out the stock incandescent bulbs to LED's because LED's are diodes and are polarized components.

      Leave the wires on the new bulbs long after you solder them in. Then after they are all soldered in take a 12 volt battery charger and connect it to the 2 wires of any new bulb. If it is done properly all the other bulbs should light up. Then trim the wires off as close to the circuit board as you can.

      Hi,
      i like your video, but i have some question
      how do you know which voltage and amperage are burn-out bulbs?
      When i measure voltage on the circuit board it is one reading, when i put one new bulb, voltage reading is different, with second new bulb, again different value.
      How to determine which amperage are burned bulbs?
      Could 12V 25mA bulb exchange a 6V 50mA bulb, are they equal?
      Some bulbs are in serial connection, if one burns out, second will not work too.
      I tried to measure some voltage and amperage, to calculate current, resistance, but it is too confusing to me.

    • @SamaritanElad
      @SamaritanElad 5 лет назад

      Problem with LED's instead is that you wouldn't get as much dimming control since LED's don't take much power to light. May be able to add a draining resistor to make up the voltage difference though - mod time...

    • @jenniesgarage
      @jenniesgarage  10 лет назад +1

      I would just carefully pull the faceplate and power up the radio. Then use a voltmeter on the bulb terminals. Mark the terminals, or draw a diagram to keep track. That sounds like an interesting project, It will look very nice when it's done.

    Many people have asked where you connected voltage onto to first test the lights. I didn't see where you answered. I really liked the video except for that obvious omission as well as where you can get the bulbs. I have a bank of these not working. I took the radio out to look at what I'm facing. When I reinstalled it NONE of the button lights work anymore. I suspect a loose cable.....but it'd be nice to check it out on a bench with a 12v source. You probably ought to caution that there is still power to the circuit bd even with the car turned off and the keys out (the clock is always lit).

    I don't suppose you happen to know of a source for replacing the 5-pin connector near the volume knob that connects the face plate to the radio body, do you? I accidentally melted the plug that connects to the radio body - enough to wreck it :-( so I will need to replace that. I already had to reattach one of the wires as it had pulled out when I was disconnecting it - despite being as careful as I possibly could with disconnecting it...
    Great job with the video, BTW... Thanks!

    @Tenorman1100 2 года назад

    Funny how he did the entire video on the head unit that has a cassette, cd and radio but when it came time to plug the wire on the bottom back onto the circuit board it suddenly turned into a head unit that doesn't have a cassette. No problem though, because if you unit has the cassette, when it comes time to reattach the two plugs, the cassette can be removed by taking out 4 small screws. It makes it much easier to reconnect the two plugs.

  • @tyler2610

    I just replaced the face plate on my 2004 Buick Century RDS radio. I wanted to replace the radio because the buttons on mine were badly worn but everything worked otherwise so I got a used unit on eBay for $26 from a Century with 9K miles that was like new. I called the GM dealers in my area and they wanted $125 and up to program it, mind you I was installing it myself, I just wanted them to unlock the Theftlock! No way was I going to pay them that kind of money to hook it up to the OBD II for 5 minutes. Unfortunately I saw a video on here that you could unlock these radios by removing a chip on the circuit board so I reluctantly did it. Well the radio worked but it would not recall the station I left it tuned to after I shut the car off or volume and other audio settings. At this point I decided to attempt to swap the face plates. It was a bit daunting but I figured I had nothing to loose so I tried it. It was actually fairly easy except getting that small harness on the right to plug back in. I did not remove the top cover so that may have helped? I finally got it after about 15 mins and a lot of persevering and patience but now my radio looks great and works as it did before without spending any extra money so I'm happy!

    I think I’ll live with a burned out bulb. And when they all burn out I’ll just buy a replacement radio. I’m pretty sure I’d break something trying to do this anyway.

    "BULBS" are what you plant.
    "LAMPS" are what you use for light.
