All of these tiny lamps are soldered directly onto the circuit boards, now I spent a weekend taking my entire dash board apart and because I have experience working with electronics I was able to buy replacement board mount bulbs at the local radio shack and solder new ones to the circuit boards, but this is not a simple repair, and you def. should not try taking apart the dash on this car without both GM factory shop manuals. Believe it or not there are only about 4 screws holding the entire dash board together, the rest of the assembly uses push on metal clips and if you don't know where these clips are located they tend to snap off while you are prying and fall down into the depths of the dash ( had this happen to a couple of them anyway  ) |
Hey PCMOS,
I posted a question about fixing the steering wheel mounted cruise control last month and could have used your smarts.
I asked, "When pressing the Steering Wheel mounted switch to turn "on" the cruise control I have to continue to hold it down in order for it to work after I hit the "set" button. Should the switch be replaced and does this switch just pry out of the steering wheel socket"? I was told to just pry it out and replace it. I pryed it out, pulled it apart, cleaned it with alcohol and tested it with my ohm meter and all looks fine. Do you think that replacing that switch is my problem?
