The lite on my 06 Pontiac Vibe car radio is out 50% on the left side. How do I fix this problem?> I have XM radio and cannot read the stations....Pls.Help...

I don't have an issue pulling the radio out of the dash. Do you know what kind of bulb and what kind of specialty tools I need? I don't have an issue pulling the radio out of the dash. Do you know what kind of bulb and what kind of specialty tools I need?

what you need to do is dismantle the radio...find the bulb thats burned out and unsolder it from the pc board.....bring it to radio shack and find an equivelent bulb....should be 12v so the size will be the most important factor...it may be a good idea to test the voltage where the old bulb was installed with a multimeter to make sure it is 12 volts.then resolder the bulb to the board and you should be good to go. what you need to do is dismantle the radio...find the bulb thats burned out and unsolder it from the pc board.....bring it to radio shack and find an equivelent bulb....should be 12v so the size will be the most important factor...it may be a good idea to test the voltage where the old bulb was installed with a multimeter to make sure it is 12 volts.then resolder the bulb to the board and you should be good to go.
