Question Radio Display Lights Out??!??!

My display lights are out on my radio panel for my 04 Blazer...specifically the seek button and the number 1 and 2 radio setting. I do not have a fuse out and um curious if it could be anything else or I would have to pull the dash off and replace a bulb.....if so, I am NOT looking forward to it!!!!!

if anyone could give me a tip it would be awesome.....THANK YOU!!!

So are only a few of the lights out on your radio and not all of them?

The lights on the stereos are for the most part not replaceable. You can pull it apart and soder in some new leds, BUT for the time and effort you would probably be better off replacing the deck with something aftermarket.

Thumbs down

AHHHHH~!!!!!!!!! Thats what I was afraid of, I am great when it comes to the mechanical aspect of working on vehicles but NOT the electrical. I don't even understand how it managed to go bad from the time I had the car off till the 10 minutes later when I started it back up. Pretty much annoying, and I guess I am going to just have to go to the junk yard and try and replace that.

The problem is that they are not LEDs. They are regular bulbs soldered to the circuit board inside. I just replaced them all in my HVAC control module for my Tahoe. It wasn't particularly difficult, but was a bit time consuming.
