That ring around the key: lit or not?

[Kayers]

Mine is not lit. Did it originally light up in a 1st gen truck? If so, where is the bulb, is it a fiberoptic with remote mounted bulb?



Thanks,

Kevin

Yes. That is the only light inside mine that still works! LOL

Yes, but try finding a bulb for that little thing... . , also in that little unit is the buzzer wire for the key switch (i beleive it is the brown one), which i beleive in disconnecting.....

Ring light on colume...

You can take the cover off the steering colume top/bottom with hex or allen wrench to reveal the key light. You have to remove the rod for the steering wheel tilt adjustment first. When I replaced instrument cluster bulbs I had to take off those covers. I think I saw a small bulb for the ring, check the D/C shop manual for the correct bulb number. I'm sure others with more experience will chime in .



Hope this helps, Patrick.

there is a little cylindrical shaped metal thing that looks like an old flourescent lamp starter ziptied under the steering column, that is the timer. I think all I did was unplug mine and now it never goes on.
