Title: Changing lightbulb in Becker radio face?
Post by: RichardPercival on October 09, 2024, 21:38:53

Hi all,

I recently had my Becker Grand Prix TR serviced by Becker Autosound as when I bought the car several bits didn’t work like the wonderbar.

I didn’t re-install as working on the wood but when I tested it wired in but not in dash (being a 230 it’s wedged on either side of the dash board metal not just inserted) all was perfect after service.


After I put it back ion, not 10 mins passed before I pressed the far right U or FM button and both the backlight and green center light disappeared while everything else kept working.


I opened it back up to find the new LED bulb they added rattling around.


I can’t see where to plug it back in?


Have contacted Becker Autodound but yet to hear back.. Anyone know where the hell you plug this? (See pic) I can’t see a bayonet for it..
Also does this one bulb do the white backlight and green center light? Both went out the same moment..

Thanks for any guidance you have!

Rich

Have a look half way down the page, it may be the same process for your radio

Thanks Bob. I can't say the instruction made much sense to me without a visual and since in my case there wasn't a bulb being replaced to guide me on where to place it :)
I've added the photo sent to me by Becker Autosound showing the placement to the Tech Guide in the same paragraph.
