Well, I had all 9 buttons and the 4 backlight bulds replaced on the ECC and WOW they all work. Bulbs and labor for the whole thing cost me $50. Better then $850 the dealer wanted for a new one.

Good Job man. glad you saved 800 dollars on it.

 

Screw that "No User Serviceable Parts Inside" crap. :read:

I still can't beleive they would make something that has light bulbs in it un serviceable? WTF bulbs burn out! I' going outside now to try and get a pic of it.

NFG on the pic - no flash is just black and with the flash you can't tell. anyway it looks like it should and that's all I have to say about that.

Where'd the buttons come from???

[jpv123]

I meant the button bulbs, not the actual buttons. But the bulbs came from Radio Shack.

do you have #'s on the bulbs? im sure theyre the same car to car(lumina, regal, etc...)... a new one from the parts store is $180 and i'd rather have burned out bulbs.

Yes, for the buttons I used Micro Lamp #7219 (there is another # 272-1092 on the package as well). For the backlighting I used Mini Lamp #272-1141A.

 

My unit takes 9 bulbs for the buttons and 4 bulbs for the backlighting.
