'04 Silverado Radio Lights Out - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Prathbun · 07-30-2009, 08:34 AM

I have a 04 Silverado with a single CD player radio and the back lights for the #1 & 2 station selection buttons are not light. I can't see them in the dark. Is there a way to replace these bulbs or do I need to look for a different radio?

Thanks

I think they are soldered into the circuit board. So no bulb replacement possible. I know I have some out in the air controls, and when I took them apart that is what I found. So I'm sure the radios are the same. I just got used to them being dark.

Thanks for reply!! I was hoping for an easier answer.

Yeah I was too when I took my air controls out!

Then when I heard how much a replacement was

I know which way is hot, and which way is cold. I don't need a light!

In your case sounds like a perfect excuse for an aftermarket stereo!
