Question: Light for radio 1996 LT4 C4

[3 Deuce]

All electrical working, except for the light in the radio....how big a deal is it to replace or should I just listen in the daytime when I can see what I'm listening to....

If it is a Bose system,...Get a flashlight. On my '90 the radio light bulb is non-servicable and to fix it you will have to send the unit in for service.....SURPRISE! Yes, it really sucks, just for a 50 cent bulb. Corvette Central has a service listed in their C4 Catalog page 142. All for the (It's a Corvette so screw me)price of $229. plus shipping. Personally, I just remember what I have on which presets and as far as the clock, I wear a watch and usually have my phone handy too. Sorry to be the "dark cloud" of reason, but getting the radio out requires dis-assembly of the console and the center section of the dash. Plus it is probably a few week turn-around. So by the time you get your radio back you'll have forgotten which screw goes where, because they are different...Naturally... Not a picnic!

Hint: I keep a mini-maglite in the console(with batteries). Something you should do anyway, just in case, for a multitude of reasons. Do you really trust your under-hood or spare tire lights?

If you're talking about the radio back lighting bulbs, they can be replaced. Most of them are soldered in.
Radio Shack sells the bulbs for around $2.50.

Here's a write up of the procedure for an automatic trans. Your manual trans. shifter knob is held in by a wedge and no c clip.
