I have a 2004 rx8 and the dash controls are totally paralized and dont work...only way to change radio station or volume is from steering wheel controls. No heat,ac,defrost etc. Cant change direction of airflow whether be to feet,face, or defrost. Only thing it does is light up a very dim red. Doesnt read anything where it should say the outside temp and what radio station your listening to. PLEASE HELP!! Very frustrating!!

The radio screws holding the radio are not tight enough. to eliminate this problem remove the radio and adjust the pressure screw in the rear of the radio so it comes out farther>. if the radio is not far enough in the compartment to push in that button the radio controls will not work

SOURCE: Steering wheel lamps do not work (radio controls, temp, cruise)

The lights on the steering wheel are in the switches. To fix the lights, the whole switch needs to be replaced. Same thing goes for the Tempature Controls and radio. Overall, I think it would be very expensive to replace all of the switches to get the lights working. I have the same vehicle, and almost all of the lights are out.

I think the lights behind the gage controls are replaceable, although you still have to rip out most of the dash to get to them.

I have the auto-sense wipers, so I was leaving the wipers on all the time, and the would only work when needed. The bad part I finally found out about this was that while the wiper switch is on (even though they were not wiping), it caused all of the dash lights, switch lights and rear parking light to be on. I think this alone significantly cut down on the life of the bulb.

For now, I am just living without the lights. The temperature control is very expensive (just the part alone).

You can usually find the best price for these things at http://www.rockauto.com

SOURCE: Can't see anything on the clock/Radio Display

the radio display is lighted by a tiny bulb inside the radio, to change this u must remove the radio from the dash and take off the top sheet metal cover, under that u will see a small twist in bulb socket, replace that little bulb, the bulb is about $2 and avail at any full sevice auto parts store.

Did you find the problem with your radio Terry? I have a 2005 X type and the radio has just suddenly started doing exactly the same thing - cant change radio station or use steering controls, only the volume knob works.

2004 chevy truck radio control on steering wheel

there could be a broken wire in the steering wheel which would mean possibly having to remove the steering wheel but there will be an air bag that could go off which would be dangerous so its best left to the professionals unless you know exactly what you are doing as regards taking off steering wheels.

My radio will work but the lights do not come on and all the manuel buttons do not work, i can control the volume, stations, and am/fm from the controls on the steering wheel. I can not turn off the radio...

There was a Technical service bulletin issued on 03 and 04 G35's regarding the audio system circuit board. One of the symptoms in the diagnostic tree on the bulletin was whether radio buttons worked, Because you have control with the steering wheel it is a dead giveaway that the circuit board is the problem. I would suggest calling your nearest dealer with your VIN number in hand and find out if the circuit board has been replaced. Even if it has, it could still have gone bad. But I can be almost certain that is your problem.
