I had my center console apart to hook up my XM unit, and last night i noticed that the driver side seat heater switch will not light up. the indicator (orange light) does come on when the switch is actually turned on to high or low, and the seat does get hot. But the actual backlight of the switch is out.

i had it apart today to make sure everything was connected, and it looked like it was. so what could the problem be? i am stumped.

 

could be the illumination bulb for the switch.

BTW i thought i was doing your install, are you sending the old unit in favor of saving time?

 

heheh you are doing my install, i was refering to last weekend when i had my console apart. i only realized last night that this light was out so thats when i realized that it must have been a result from last weekend, so then i posted this. i should be getting the part this weekkend.

Any word on the group buy?

oh yea sorry to reply that in the PM i just sent yes i have 1 money order already and i think 2 more are on their way i know for sure one person said they would send it on friday.

BTW
i wish you guys would include your handel when you email me, i cant figure out who is who

 

I may be dumb but what exactly are you doing a group buy on?

 

Hey what up guys. What type of mod are you doing?

 

the group buy id for a line driver to boost the signal of our XM Radio unit. so i guess the mod would be adding the xm unit...

 

It when out last week, and today my console and HVAC button lights also when out, I want to cry, I am i n bad shape.

I should have never messed with the dome lights, changing them to blue leds,
you think that might be my problem?

 

I dont know mang, i replaced my lights with the blue LEDs as well. But i think i must have bumped my seat heat switch one too many times and broke it. I dont think the two problems can be related at all, but who knows.

i ordered a new switch and installed it a few days ago myself. works perfectly again, so my original switch just went bad. i got the new switch for like 25$ (*cough* rip off *cough*)

 

mine was out too.. can anyone teach me how to change the bulb DIY...
too expensive to change it at dealer

 

I just noticed my drive was out this weekend. My car is all stock so i'll be taking it to the dealer and having them fix it next time I need service.

 

which bulb specifically? I had to change out the seat heater light....really easy

 

those backlite light that show up on the driver side of the seat heater switch...
not those 2 red dot one

 

I remember I saw someone posted a diagram of how to remove it once....however I can't find it anymore. Can someone post it again, or if you know the link as well. Thank you so much for your help!!

 

By the way, my dealer said its not a warranty item. Should have it fixed free of charge regardless but bulbs are not covered under the bumper to bumper.

 

Well my light went out after I had my RCA plugs put in for my ipod. I was worried, but then I just flipped the switch a few times and it came back on. Haven't had any trouble since. Try shaking it a little.

 

My passenger side died about 2 weeks ago and I'm trying to find the bulb themselves. Impossible to find, at least in the SD area, without ordering a box of 10 for $2 and $8 shipping. Guess I'm stubborn about the $25 for a new switch. The bulbs come out pretty easy - I believe its just a slotted screw.

Has anyone tried to look for the bulbs themselves?

I just ordered some myself from that site.....I have to stop messing around in there...I keep blowing that damn bulb

 

My passenger side light failed last week. I'm yet to open anything up - so I'm sure this didn't get bumped/prodded. I Wonder how widespread these failures are. Haven't asked the dealer to fix it yet - Hoping they'll be nice and cover it.

They cover it. I had mine done a few weeks ago. No big deal. Takes them like 5 mins to replace if they have the part, which mine didn't.

 

I just noticed my passenger side back light on the seat heater switch went out.........I'll have the dealership look at it...........
