Thanks I was not sure if you could remove the assembly from the wheel. You my friend have answered the question. Job well done
Thank you, it's very nice to have lights that work again!
Best youtube how to video ever,. Thank you sir.
Thank you this was very helpful. I chose this route as my switches are in good condition other than the lights burnt out and wanted to keep OEM and have all of the lights match. I removed the airbag center per a different video which helped considerably to be able to wiggle enough slack in the wires. The small bottom switches for mine were very difficult in fact I'm not sure that I could have gotten them. There are a few ideas of how to get the switches back in. One suggested what I chose; I used dental like picks to be able to hook and hold the wire socket and then just push the switch back on. I have some other lights out on the heater control which I'll tackle next.
sdrob671 can you post the link to the video you used? Thanks in advance.
What fuse do I check 1st before I need to do all this? To see if it’s a fuse and not have to replace the bulb unless I have too. Thanks much
I can do that THANKS a bunch!!
really good video how to reinstall these bulbs of the steering wheel, I want to ask you how many volts are the new bulbs that I install? or if someone knows how many volts they should buy the replacement bulbs thank you in advance, waiting for your answer thanks
What size are the bulbs?
I honestly didn't even know those were supposed to light up. 😂
Are those 3mm 12V bulbs?
I did all mine biggest problem is the wires are so short hard to get them to get them out
Thanks for the video. Can these bulbs be soldered in either way or is there polarity?
CS Day either way, its not led.
I have a problem with the seek button.
Is malfunctioning, can't tell if is the , buttons , harness or clockspring
What is the purpose of the blue "condom"? Is it to keep the bulb from overheating the button? If I do this and switch to an LED bulb, I assume the blue condom is not needed, is that a correct assumption? Thanks.
Phil Day it’s for the color temperature, to give off a pure white light rather than a dull yellow incandescent light color
Do you think a 12v Led will work
If your buttons are worn and back lighting dead, get new controls with LED's already installed: www.ebay.com/str/gmgaugerepair/GM-Steering-Wheel-Controls/_i.html?_storecat=5294336017
Will the dealer be able to do this?
I'm sure they would but do yourself a favor and DO THEM YOURSELF. I'm literally cringing as I type this just thinking of how much a dealer would steal from you to switch lights...
I've been doing this in my GMC Sierra when I have time and i'll let you know this. I've put 12v led bulbs in my 4wd, dome, fog, and dimmer switches, as well as my instrument cluster and they all work fine. All this talk of resistors and stuff is non-sense. I haven't had any "dim" or burnt out bulbs at all. Do yourself a favor and order a 50 pc pack. Polarity will be trial and error but it's really easy to solder and unsolder as needed. Cluster has 11, 4wd switch has 2, cargo and fog light switch has 2, dimmer switch has 1. About to get into door switches and radio. Do yourself a favor and invest in a solder sucker.
Derek Verville what color did you do I'm trying to keep the stock color but I'm not sure what bulbs to go with
I did blue and they look great, so good actually that 3 of my friends did the same thing. I strongly suggest if you don't want a color than go with the white led instead of the stock yellowish halogen, way brighter.
Derek Verville will the white still require the condom thing or can I just use the straight white behind it
i got rid of all of the caps and just ran the lights as is, I only had 2 really bright spots but you get use to them.
Derek Verville does the type of bulb for this steeri g wheel controls matter. Like voltage and led, ect? U used same bulb ads the rest of ur interiors?
i have led lights for replacement anyone know the correct polarity?? thanks
Len C take the steering wheel control apart and remove the original lights connect just the circuit board make sure you connect it back to the right slot/or plug use one of your led lights and touch the legs on the circuit board terminals when the led lights up that's it you found your 12v positive and negative use a marker to mark a + or -- good luck
Anybody else notice the end result is not blue..? It’s white... so is it fixed?
Why not just purchase a whole new switch? Seems easy peasy to me.
70$ plus those bills get hot if not such to led
Id like to see them glow in a different color
It's been my experience fixing lots of this stuff that if you can hang on to OEM parts you're better off. Most aftermarket stuff is very cheaply made. So replacing bulbs is smart in this case in my opinion.
Hello
Where do I get replacement bulbs?
I have bought them on ebay search grain of rice 12V bulbs
Thank you. Might you have a link?
I got my 7219 mini bulbs from Digi-Key
I got mine here audioxpress.org/listing-category/steering-wheel-control-bulbs/ and they came with new condoms and they matched the factory color.
What is the part number for those bulbs?
did you ever figure this out? I would also like to know.
@@faintoverboost7524 ebay this "MINI BULBS LAMPS FOR GM SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER BACKLIGHT 4.7mm 12v-14v"
You only have to do this 8 times
Why it brights whithe instead blue?
Mines still work just the lettering rubbed off 😆
You can find decals on Ebay. I bought these, they are not perfect but way better than the worn out look www.ebay.com/itm/2006-Chevrolet-Gmc-Steering-Wheel-Control-Button-Decals-Stickers-Repair/202394692517?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
steering wheel just sucks GM no wiggle room, do your self a favor take off airbag and part of airbag mount and get the wires out so you can even do something with them its a joke
Geez, just buy a new damn switch? They don't cost THAT much. Certainly not worth fixing. At all.
To you maybe. To those of us who are talented and know how to fix things, this is an easier and more cost effective repair. I’ve repaired a bad PRNDL backlight, bad rear view mirror compass, and multiple other issues without spending a dime.
$70?
Just get new SWITCHES
