open the passenger door in that fuse box
Remove the retaining cover to your 2005 Chevy Malibu radio. Remove the radio retaining screws. Slide the radio out. Remove the wiring harness and the antenna cable.
show me the radio in a 2002 Chevy mabliu l s or show me how to set the clock on the radio
check the fuse on the wires on your radio, there is a separate wire for the display lights that should be wired to your dash lights
The radio display is usually tied to the dash board lights. As you raise or lower the illumination on the dash, the radio lights should change. During the day (with your headlights off), the radio display is at full brightness so it is easier to read in daylight.
put the parking brake on the first click. it wont engage the brake but will turn of the lights but if you have a stock radio it will start beeping at you as soon as you hit about 10mph
radio internal error.. a dealer needs to send this out for repair.
There may be an issue with the relay switch going to the radio lights. There may also be an issue with the fuse.
If you turn up your interior dashboard light settings, then the radio display will be brighter too. The radio dims to the setting for the dashboard when the lights are turned on.
i work fro a Chevy dealer and when your display goes bad it means radio replacement time. if your dash light work and not the radio you will need to replace the radio
The instrument cluster lights have their own fuse. It's a 5 amp at the bottom center of the fuse block. When the lights are on, the radio draws lamp power from the instrument cluster. This allows you to dim the brightness of the radio display with the other internal lamps.
The unlock code for the radio is different for every radio. You will need to find the serial number on the radio and call the dealer for the unlock code.
Not enough info... If the lights are dim, there is an illumination wire that dims the lights when the headlights come on at night... could be a bad switch. If your lights are totally gone... so is your radio. It is a sealed unit not meant to be serviced. Even if you could find someone to repair it, by the time you were done, it would be cheaper to buy an aftermarket or an original factory Delco from eBay.
