Radio/clock light went out - can't find fuse

[Benni]

The light to the clock/radio has gone out. I have the map of the fuses but can't find that one anywhere. Help?

Tap the screen and see if it comes back on.

If the radio still plays unfortunately it is not a fuse. The radio/clock has a LED light which probably has burnt out.

Thank you for the replies.

Tried tapping it when it happened -- nothing.

Yes, the radio works fine. Hmmm.... can an LED light be replaced???

Yes, it can be replaced. The radio has to be removed, the chasis opened and the old bulb has to be unsoldered from the circuit and a new one soldered in. I would use google to look for a local automotive radio repair facility.

Thank you so much!

Don't forget you can always hit up a junkyard for a different radio. The junkyards near me are well stocked with various parts.

Great idea! Thanks Richard!

Just thought of something. Will ANY radio fit in the Pontiac or does it need to be specifically for it?

I was just there (the site) and looked around, before getting this. Will check it out further later. Thank you!

If you want to get it repaired and don't want to do it yourself. try searching in your area here: http://www.angieslist.com/companylist/us/tx/baytown/car-radio-repair.htm
