There are a bunch of individual bulbs in the radio that will burn out and need to be replaced. I did that on the A/C heater board while my car was down, but didn't have to do it on the radio unit. I assume there is a similar board involved for the DIC buttons.

You will need some skills with a soldering iron in order to do this.

Rich, for the benefit of ALL of us out here in forum-land, could you please post
where you were able to get these bulbs? As our cars age and things go bad, it's
nice to be able to go right to a source for the necessary parts to repair them.
Thanks,
Andy Anderson

Heck, that was way back when my car first went into Harwood's shop. I don't have any idea where I got them from. But I likely just used Google to locate the source....

Sorry...
