Should have never been on. Unfortunately the lamps that were on, like the pointer and one behind the dial, went off. After installing the new bulbs behind the dial none of the lamps are turning back on. I’m hoping it has an easy fix. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Ty

You have the wiring diagram right there and it shows that there is a fuse for the dial lamps. Did you check it?

Red arrow in pic shows the dial light fuse.

Well, the bulbs weren't "user serviceable" either. I think that warning is meant for the whole unit and is to cover their ass in case you electrocute yourself.

Thank you. Replaced the fuse and the lamps came on. Here is a picture of before and after. Still need to do the power button lamp and the stereo dial lamp. If anyone has any info on replacing those or any links please let me know. Thank you.

Hey, If it makes you feel better, I blew the left channel on my receiver and took out multiple transistors, etc touching up what I thought was a cold solder joint. I thought I pulled the plug on it, but unplugged something else! Silly mistake! Take your time and pay close attention to what your doing. Now we have a powerful helper... a digital camera or cell phone. Take pictures of things before you disassemble them. You can always delete them later if you don't need them but you can't take it after it's apart and you can't figure out how something went! Well you can but it won't help! LOL.
