2007 Tahoe Steering Wheel Volume Controls by csprick
Jan 16, 2007 (9:47 pm)
Reply
The cruise controls on the left and the front set of radio/CD controls on the right side of the steering wheel light up at night; however, the two volume controls, located just behind the front set of radio/CD controls on the right, do not light or glow. Are they not supposed to or do I have a burned out bulb / defective wiring? It appears odd that they are not lighted also. How hard is it to get to the bulb for the volume controls?
 
Thanks,
Chuck

Mine do not light either, they are not designed to, not sure why.

Strange indeed -- one would certainly expect to see them lighted since all the other steering wheel mounted controls are lighted. Was Chevy asleep the day they designed the volume buttons?

Does anyone know, with the extremely early release of 2007 models at the beginning of last year, any idea when the 2008 models will be released?

Had our 07 Tahoe at the dealer today Jan.18 for the recall #06162 and drove home which is around 65 miles and I noticed ZERO improvement in the V4/V8 mode. Our's has around 11300 miles on it and the V4 mode is only engaged downhill and when the foot is off the accelerator.

Why would you expect the volume controls to be lit? The rest of the buttons are on the wheel facing the driver, and while fairly intuitive to find by "touch", aren't nearly so clearly identifiable as the volume buttons. The buttons are placed where they are for easy fingertip identification and use, and aren't in a good spot for you (or me, or anyone else) to be trying to look at them while driving these vehicles in the first place.
 
So no, Chevrolet wasn't asleep at the wheel. It's a logical decision to spend money to light controls where it makes far more sense.

Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Makes no sense to me NOT to light them since - they perform similar functions as the front right steering wheel buttons i.e., control the radio/CD player, they are located within what, 1/2 inch? of the front buttons, they stick out further than the front buttons so could easily be seen at night if lighted, they can't be seen at all at night if not lighted, etc.
 
If, as you say, they "aren't in a good spot for you (or me, or anyone else) to be trying to look at them while driving these vehicles in the first place", then why light the other steering wheel buttons? Besides, I like all the neat glowing goodies I see at night.
 
Anyhow, thanks for the response, at least now I know I don't have a burned out bulb.
