2001 Chevrolet Impala, No Dash Lights.

Hi Sparky,

I have a 2001 impala the radio lights and the (P.R.N.D.2.1) lights work in the daytime and at night I cant see them, Also the cluster lights dont seem to work at all, Can you give some tips please.

Hi Arthur,

It would seem like either the panel dimming fuse is blown or the dimmer circuit board in the headlight switch is faulty. Have you checked to see if the switch is turned down to the full dim position?

Sparky

It's the first thing you do when something is not working is to see if it is turned on. It is fixed I went to work on it as soon as I read your reply, it was the dimmer circuit board.

2005 Chevrolet Silverado, No Dash Lights

The gauge lighting is beginning to disappear on my 2005 Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck. Is there any way to change the bulbs? Are there even any bulbs to change? The dash seems to be all one board?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Al,

I have found no listing for replacement instrument cluster bulbs for your truck. I would suggest calling your local GM parts dept to confirm if replacement bulbs are available or not.

Thanks for your help. You would think that they would make these things a little easier to change or at least last longer than 4 years.
Thanks again for your help.

Update:

The bulbs can be replaced. They are wired bulbs that have to be soldered in. There are suppliers on EBay. I only recommend doing this if you are also updating the gauge stepper motors.
