djazzmo Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 The four lights on my steering wheel have all gone out. Is this a DIY job or do I need professional help? How do you get to them? BTW I have a tail light out as well and I can't figure out how to get to it. It's a 2 min job on every car I have seen until I got to this. It appears you have to take out the entire trunk lid liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Not too sure on the sterring wheel lights but I have changed tail lights. Remove the plastic liner on the back of the trunk. Just unwind the hook anchors. There are two or three little nuts on the back of the light assembly. Undo those and the whole light assembley pops out. Change the bulb and put it back together. 10 min job. 2001 STS Mettalic Otter Grey, Black Leather, 213,000 kilometers - miles - ? Still running strong!

Rickster Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Oops. Just relized your talking about the ones in the trunk lid. Ya. You gotta remove the liner. Just unwind the anchors and pop a few of the plastic rivits to give you enough room to access the back of the tail lights. Change the bulb and put back together. 10 min job. 2001 STS Mettalic Otter Grey, Black Leather, 213,000 kilometers - miles - ? Still running strong!

djazzmo Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Thought I would try one more time to get an answer to the steering wheel lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Concours Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 What steering wheel lights are you talking about? The one's for the ac and radio controls that are on the steering wheel?

djazzmo Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 I am refering to the backlight on the AC and Radio controls on the steering wheel. My original post said four light but I guess there may only be 2 lights - one on each side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmwa_pro Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 if you mean the radio and hvac controls in the steering wheel the lights are not serviceable per Massey Cad...you have to buy the entire switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximln Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 You do have to change the entire switch but the good news is that they are not very expensive. They run roughly around $40-$50. They are also not very hard to change. You just have to "unhook" the SIR module in the steering wheel by rotating the clips in the back. Once the module is loosened, you can unscrew the switches and install the new ones. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
