The light for my radio has become unplugged and I can't remember where the hole is. Anyone have a picture or a location? Thanks.

The bulb and socket go into a hole on the top chasis.

Thanks dave. Does the radio need to be out? Is the hole centered or to one side, just in case I need to do it by feel?

Gary, try this link. I am assuming the white wire is the light bulb.

Alan, my radio looks similar, but the wire is in the harness. ??????

Gary, that link to the one on peepay is correct for a 1969. The illumination wire and bulb is configured just like that one. Go ahead and pull your radio out so you can determine what you have. They are easy to remove/install.

Any idea what the loose wire with a bulb is for? All other lights seem to be working. I will remove the radio and check.

How about your heater/fan controls. It's right there next to the radio.

Good guess Dennis. Thanks, but that one is in place. This bulb/socket is a single wire that grounds to metal with the prongs around the lamp base. I can't find that one in the AIM.

hmmm , maybe the ashtray light ?

No ash tray light. That was an optical fiber that came off of the tach or speedo light. Man this is killing me. The wire is part of the wiring harness. It has to plug into a metal hole because of he way it grounds.

not for the console then ?

Not for the console. It uses 4 smaller lights. I need to look closer. Maybe it was bundled in after-market for something.

Gary, what doesn't light up at night? Is it indeed the radio that stays black?

Actually I can't find anything that does not light up. I assumed it was the radio light at first because of the type of connector and I did not verify the radio did not light. I assumed too much. It will reach to the back of the radio or the top but not much further. Maybe it was added to the harness and taped up for an after-market radio at one time in the past. There is nothing like it shown in the AIM wiring either. I sure would like to settle it before reinstalling the radio. More room that way. By the way, the radio is "91APB" the exact Camaro radio you pointed to in an earlier link.

Is the light slaved to the door jamb switch or it goes on with the headlights? If it is slaved to the jamb switch, aux lighting system residual?

I dont remember exactly, but doesnt the heater control use two lights? What color is the wire?

The light comes on with the HL switch. It is a single black wire. Nothing else with a metal back to plug into. Seems like a way GM would not use to ground.

I found it. It was an after-market connection for a radio I would bet. It was taped up pretty good.:o

awwww, I was just testing you guys.


I did that kind of crap when I was a kid. I should have been wise to it.

Tell me about it. Maybe a Montgomery Wards or K-Mart 8 track player.
