Passenger door switch illumination out

Post by nos4blood70 »

So my passenger window switch no longer illuminates. Do I need a new switch, or can I replace the bulb inside? I've done the heated seat switches before as well as the fog/dimmer area, so I have some of those bulbs laying around.

Any advice is appreciated.

Taking the switch out and apart shouldn't be to hard to do. The switch housing pops out w/o even pulling the door panel iirc.

Note if you pull the injectors to obserbe fuel delivery...make sure you leave the plugs in and disconnect the ign. Believe me

Mine is out too and swapped 2 other switches with no light still. I verified power at the yellow lead that feeds light power too.
