Steering wheel radio control question

AR15 guy · 06-15-2008, 11:56 PM

The ones by my left hand no longer light up. Never have since I have owned the car. Is there a bulb of some sort behind it? If so how do you change it?

noone?

you have to solder a new bulb in, not too bad if you are decent with a soldering iron (changed mine to blue led's a while ago)

How does the switch itself come out? Just pops out?

yep, 2 small clips on the back imbeded in the rubber, the wires are just long enough to get to the back also

i hate all the buttons on the steering wheel i never use them. i think they are in the way. i hate the cruise control the most cause it's on the lower left bottom side. some how i always end up turning it on by accident while making a turn.

I love the steering wheel controls. I use them all the time. I didn't like the cruise where it was at first but now I like it. It's out of the way so I don't accidently shut it off when I am driving. I am lost when I get in a different car that doesn't have the steering wheel controls.

My 98 doesn't have cruise on the steering wheel. Just the radio controls.
