#1 of 9 2002 Tahoe Dash lights burning out by foreverbfc Jun 02, 2006 (10:05 pm)
Hi, I have a 2002 tahoe and my lights on my dashboard have been slowely burning out one by one. It's mainly my air conditioning unit; so far there are 3 lights individually that have burned out. They are individual buttons, not clusters. Does anyone know if I can replace them from the dealer?

I also have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe with dashboard light and power window light problems. Two air con. indicator lights, 4 radio buttons, and just recently 2 of my power window button lights burned out.. Does anyone else have this issue? and is there a solution?

Replying to: macman1234 (Jul 21, 2006 7:03 am) I have a 99 Chevy Suburban, same problem. It is pretty pesky at night, groping for the favorite radio stations. I was given a very high price to fix the radio lights in particular, by the dealer. A friend who also owns a repair shop suggested it would be way cheaper to put in a new radio. That won't help with the other lights though. Glad to know I am not the only one.   Warning--not long after this problem, my driver's side seat heater burned up and literally burned a hole in my seat from underneath before I shut it off. I live in a cold climate so I used it a lot, but STILL! It was literally smoking, then charred a hole the size of a cigarette tip--and I don't smoke! If it hadn't happened TO ME while I was driving, I would have sworn someone else was careless in my car. Moral of the story is, the Chevy electronics just wear out!!!
#4 of 9 2002 tahoe rear defost and rear wiper by otool Jan 10, 2007 (1:14 pm)
Both my rear defost and wiper have been intermit and now they both are not working. I see they are on different circuits. Any ideas would be help full before I take it to the over priced dealer.
#5 of 9 1996 Tahoe and 2005 Suburban by douginpgh Dec 05, 2007 (10:42 am)
I had a 96 Tahoe and now a 2005 suburban and the dash lights have been burning out on both. The tahoe started on the radio and then moved to the gauges. The suburban is only 2 years old, but half the radio lights are out and one gauge light. Thing is, about a year into the ownership, the radio was replaced due to malfunction. So, lights are burning out after only 1 year.   Is there any way to handle this?

Replying to: dmoore9090 (Mar 11, 2008 5:58 am) I have a 2002 Tahoe and the lights on my dashboard and radio went out. I took it to the dealership yesterday and they fixed it. However, where the icons are such as the gas pump etc., they light up, but the words do not. They told me the wording does not light up, anyone know if this true?   Thanks!   Scott
#9 of 9 Tahoe Instrument Panel Lights by stevenq Dec 07, 2008 (8:47 am)
I have a 2001 Tahoe and the Instrument Panel Lamp Dimmer only works in the "total on" position making me believe the assembly needs to be replaced. I can purchase the "Headlamp Switch / Instrument Panel Lamp Dimmer Assembly", AC Delco Part #D1534G online. Is this difficult for me to install or do I have to go to a dealer? I don't know how to remove the dashboard. Do you know where I could find installation instructions?
