you can't change the bulb..

check for a recall, chevy has a lot of electrical trouble for 2003-2006 trucks and suvs. www.nhtsa.dot.gov

without more detail,are we talking audio/cruise control/and the like .
On the back side of the steering wheel there are metal rings that the switch wires are connected to, they make contact to spring loaded pins.
that way the wheel can go around and around .
some times its as simple as cleaning those contacts.
if all the switches went out at the same time i would check the wire terminal plugs at the bottom of the steering column.
your local chevy dealer can help you out on parts.
or if your trying to economize try a local or on-line automotive recycling yard.
hope this gets you going

the dealer will have the part, real common, there also may be a service bulletin to add a filter onto the vent valve. as for a diagram, when you have the part in your hand, and you look at the back of the fuel tank, you'll figure it out.

internal radio malfunction. the radio will need to be removed and sent in for repair.

If ALL bolts are out....hit it with a sledge hammer to loosen it if necessary.
Side hits should do it.
Make sure you have the correct replacement because the old one will be no good after hitting it to remove it.

change thermostat

Maybe the bulbs themselves are burned out.

Moe here ,if you check posts let me know I will ckeck back asap.

remove the tailgate handle trim cover, disconnect handle from side that's not working & pull on rod manually. ( thats if it's not broken already) You have probably broken rod from handel.

Jump power to the blower from the battery using a couple of pieces of wire, if it doesn't run then the motor has burnt out.

the only way to repair is to replace the controls. each of the 4 sets is replceable seperate

Hi *****

im sorry kahuna, but your problem was not stated in this post...

you could have been responding to another post but you hit the wrong button, can you specify your problem please.

tnx, drcool

Depending on what you have for diagnostic knowledge and tools. You may want to send it in for diagnostics and repair. I can tell you that your vehicle's BCM (Body Control Module) controls these circuits. If it was a t my shop. I would first look for any fault codes. Then through the scan tool, manually command the doors to lock and unlock. Depending on what I find, take a closer look at the master control switch. This is in the drivers door and opens/closes windows and locks/unlocks doors. I'm forwarding you a couple wiring schematics just in case. I don't want to slow you down. FYI under the hood, inside the power distribution box. There is a relay for the tailgate lock/unlock. Any questions please feel free to write back. Good Luck.

Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) is a multifunction module that operates both the keyless entry system as well as the tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system. When an RF message is received from a keyless entry transmitter, the RCDLR interprets this signal and will request via serial data that the body control module (BCM) perform the specific function, i.e. door lock, door unlock, or vehicle locate. The RCDLR also sends messages out to the 2 Way Advanced Remote Start transmitter. Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) (AP3 or AP8, without E52) Top rear of the passenger compartment above the rear window Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR) (AP3 or AP8, with E52) Left rear of the vehicle behind the D-pillar trim panel Body Control Module (BCM) On the lower left side of the I/P to the left of the steering column Good luck !
