I just completed mine. Thanks again. One thing you didn't show was how to take the cigarette lighter/charging port out. I couldn't figure out how you took yours out, but I was able to disconnect the wires clip from them. I had two ports. The rest was just like you showed us. Thanks again!
I don't quite remember, it's been awhile. But I remember looking and finding clips. I think they were white in color and they snapped together. I think I had to pinch them then pull them apart.
Hey great video!!! However, I got to the step to replace the bulb but the replacement bulb is not lighting up. Also I got the same 2721 bulb but still no light. Could the problem be a fuse?
Hey ! First thank you for watching. What I would do is use a circuit tester pen to determine if your getting current to the bulb. If not then check fuse. Good luck ! Oh btw if you don’t have one they are inexpensive no more than 10$ but come in handy.
How many pennies & dimes did you find in there? Mine didn't go out, but I had weird codes from coins shorting stuff out that managed to get into the shifter. Also, I have a white wire with a green stripe on it that's been clipped. It's near the fuses. Got any idea what it does? I think somebody disabled the daytime running lights to save the battery before I bought it.
I cant get the big honking piece back into place correctly. The screw holes of the side panels don’t align with the yellow plastic screw holes - and I can’t persuade them into correct alignment. Take lots of pics and videos of your work if attempting this yourself.
I have one out of the fog light switch. That one is part of the switch itself. I never bothered to change it because here in Virginia, it's not required to light.
@@mind_numbing_vids4479 What of the bulb does break? Mine totally didn't break or anything while trying to remove it with pliers... Asking for a friend... 😒
No need for all that. Just pop up the cover by the hand brake and pop up the cover around the shifter. Pop off the prndl cover plate and replace bulb. 10 minutes tops. Just did it.
You do realize the cup holders pop right up out of there and you stick your hand out of there and pop it out and change it just like that this is extra but thanks
Great video. Straight to the point

Aw man I’m so sorry ! I’m fairly new to editing videos I probably lost it somewhere in the process. Thanks for watching !
How did u remove them?

@@Wigawackone oh ok thanks i was about to pull them but i got scared im might break them
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. Mine went out yesterday so I'll be attempting this in a few days.
Thank you so much for this upload. Very appreciated!
Adam Wilder thank you for watching !
Thanks! I might try that. You made it look doable for me.
Excellent job. Thank you and keep up the excellent work.
Thank you for watching !
Awesome video. Very informative
Yes thank you for the share. Mine went out a few years back. Never drove it much until recently and it sucks not having this when its dark
Thank you for watching !
Much needed video and well detailed, thank you! And I have a 2005 Chevy cobalt LT 4 dr, would these steps still be applied or is it different?
This cobalt is a 4 door sedan, probably should have mentioned that sorry!
so many things to remove just to replace small bulb
Very nice. Thanks for sharing!
Bio LoneWolf thank you for watching !

..excellent! Just excellent!

The fuse for that also controls the heater & dash display. Bad bulb from the factory or a broken wire.

Thank you for watching! And not that much lol
Does this apply to all the cobalts out there? I have a 2010 model LT
I’m not sure about the two door models but all four door models should be the same
Do they make an led bulb for this?

That is great advice, it really helps !
@@mind_numbing_vids4479 Any advice for a clueless newbie as to how to get those pieces to come together?
Helpful video but quick question does the bulb separate from the plastic or the wires? Cause our bulb isn’t coming out😂
The bulb separates from the plastic. Just be careful so the bulb doesn’t break ! Thanks for watching

Couldn't get mine out either. For some reason my bulb it actually a part of the socket. It's literally soldered into it.
How do you remove the cigarette lighter from the part
I need to know how to install the wiring harness for a 2008 gear indicator light
My bulbs that I got ( the same one as shown in the video) didn’t work for my car
Hmm I’m not sure, that’s what they told me to get at autozone. Check your fuse ?
For some reason, my bulb is part of the plug. It's literally soldered into it. So I can't replace it.
Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Holy geez.
Como puedo arreglar la reversa de mi cobalt
Mine only comes on like 5% of the time, I’m lost
It can be a bad connection, mine started like that also before it went out completely
No need for all that. Just pop up the cover by the hand brake and pop up the cover around the shifter. Pop off the prndl cover plate and replace bulb. 10 minutes tops. Just did it.

Believe me I tried. But maybe you can good luck !
Just pops in there eh my wires are solid I. It
Hmmm nice but its 09
Think i just cut out a piece of the panel to access it
