04 Steering wheel radio control lights fuse

[jjrmather]

Does anyone know where the fuse (if any) is for the radio control buttons in the steering wheel. None of mine are working after one of the lights burned up. The light has been replaced and all functions work but the lights don't come on.

Thanks,

I have the same issues but only with the volume and search buttons they dont light up if anyone has any ideas how to fix that, Id be glad to hear about it.

You can remove the switch by carefully prying it out with a small screw driver. Then take it apart by prying the sides of the black outer case where the tabs are. This will reveal the circuit board with the two lights on it. Radio Shack has miniture bulbs that are twelve volts and should be between 40-70 miliamps. You can solder these back in place. Remember to replace both at the same time due to the difference in brightness. Replace the blue bulb covers and reassemble. This should take care of the burned out bulbs.

Thanks,
Rob

You can buy them from the dealer for $23.00 plus tax for the entire switch.
