The following is a list of common problems for Bose, Symphony Sound and Non-Bose Stereos.

Display remains on with ignition off. (May drain car battery).
One or more speakers do not work.
Weak speaker or speakers with snap, crackle, pop, sound blown, distorted or do not work? (Usually right front speaker first, for Bose system see amplifiers).
Tape stuck, will not accept tape, or tape auto reverses then ejects (Blaupunkt Cassette Mechanism).
No or intermittent power, defective On/Off Switch.
No or intermittent FM and/or AM.
Display stuck at 1:00 or 10:00 o'clock.
Back lights on front panel not fully lighting.
Radio static, no display? Does cigarette lighter, dome light, horn and door chimes work? No, check for blown fuse, some cases you may find a coin or metal object in the cigarette lighter or shorted dome light, otherwise repair is needed.

Set Clock - ignition on, stereo off, push "Set". Use "Scan" for hours and "Seek" for minutes.

Want to upgrade to CD? The '94-96 Chevrolet Camaro AM/FM/CD Bose stereo physically fits the opening of the original stereo. However, there is a wire harness adaptor needed along with a modification to the wire harness and antenna adaptor.

Bose Audio Intermittent or Static with Treble and Bass Slide Controls
1985 - 1990 Delco Bose	Speakers cut in and out intermittently, treble/bass controls have static when adjusting.

	Adjusting treble/bass slide controls can cause speakers to go in and out with static.

	This is a simple DIY Repair. Radio Shack sells a "Control Cleaner" with lubricant. Push slide controls down. Spray into top of slide control opening and move slide control up and down to clean and lubricate.

NOTE - This model Corvette, 85 to 88 1/2 rarely has a Bose amplifier problem. If cleaning the treble/bass controls does not take care of speaker problems, see How to Troubleshoot Your Corvette Bose System.

Delco Car Stereo Lamp Replacement
DISCLAIMER - Some technical knowledge is needed for the repair of this car stereo. If you do not have the aptitude for repair or proper tools, please do not attempt these instructions. We are not responsible for any damage you may be incurred in the attempted repair of this car stereo. Our Do It Yourself repair instructions are 99% accurate.
Part number for lamp 16208443


Use a small common screw driver to release tab on all locks around face of car stereo by lifting center of tabs up.

One tab, on side of car stereo is a lift of entire tab.

Gently pull face plate from stereo, there is a ribbon cable connected to front display board. It is important that front face plate is removed straight off of car stereo frame. When reinstalling face plate, face plate must be installed straight onto frame of stereo so connection pins are not bent.

When snapping face plate back into radio, this display lamp circuit board fits into a slotted attachment to the top of the case of the stereo (Slot is shown in next picture). Be sure circuit board fits into slot.

Not aligning printed circuit board to notch will result in shorting this circuit board and burn circuit and components.

With small common screw driver or needle nose pliers twist lamp to release. In some cases, this lamp is slightly soldered to the circuit board. Apply pressure to remove lamp.

Install new lamp and assemble.

I have the luxury of a test bench to verify a working display. You will have to reinstall car stereo into dash to check.
