59636, cruise led's
Posted by totaleklipse97, Oct-07-03 06:32 PM
ok guys ur gonna tell me to SEARCH well i did!!!! all i found was the HVAC led's well that is helpful but i can't get my cruise swtich apart to get to the led's. I got an extra one from an eclipse in a junkyard and it still works just great. So i have an extra one to mess with the led's.so i take out the individual switch for just the cruise and i take off the back from the tabs. I try to pull the circuit board thru to no avail. I don't want to break it but i really want to change these to blue since i have the blue needle kit and blue reverse indiglos and getting new autometer guages that will glow blue also. (i will worry about the HVAC later) So how do i get out the circuit board on the cruise button and the fog button???? is it still the 3mm 2600-3000mcd led? with a 330ohm resistor??? so any help from u guys would be great.. as long as i can get this done before saturday im all set! TIA

there are 4leds .. well 3 really small leds and one bulb if i remember correctly.. you may need to remove the bulb before the circuit board will slide out properly.. the really small leds you will have to look around for.. i think they are the 3mm leds while the reg bub will be replaced with s standard 5mm led.. i have some pics.. but they are not the best of when i was messing with mine.. just be careful as i messed mine up the first time.. well it took me messing with it a few times before i messed somethign up.. and in the end i just decided to leave it alone..

just going to have to look around for the pics you are in need of as there are a few of them and they are large in size so if you have dialup.. be prepared to wait..

Carefully take off the front of the switch. the board probably won't come out because it is getting held up by the 3 led's on the front. Sometimes they catch on the main housing. That is the only reason I can see for it not working. Good luck!

hey jersy i was able to get out the board with NO cutting and NO breakage!! when u take apart the switch u will see a thing that looks like a screw. well turn that all the way to one side, then get something to pry it out.. it's another LED. once that led is out then u can slide the board right out. it's cake to bad it took me this long to realize it. now i just have to order all the LED's and it will be nice.
