The bulb illuminating that button is dead, can anyone tell me how to replace it? If that is even possible. Thanks.

 

The one for the 4 ways? Doesn't light up

 

Yes, that's the one. Is it supposed to light up?

 

it does not have a light

 

Incorrect---the hazard button DOES light up. There are 2 lights, IIRC---one for the word "HAZARD" and one for the red triangle on the button (that one I am sure about).
To replace, you have to remove the clock/air vent piece and pop the switch out from the rear.
Remember that red + blue = black, if you want to replace with colored LEDs. Use only white on the triangle button part.

 

we must have different cars or different buttons, because i just went out to my car and mine has no lights and no "HAZARD" anywhere. the only thing that lights up is the flashing left and right green blinker lights on the dash.

 

the red triangle button has a light, so does the "PASSENGER AIRBAG" words above it. but there is no "HAZARD" word there anywhere.

 

That sounds painful, any instruction/direction on how to do that? lol. Thanks for the response.

 

The red triangle? VSA?

 

VSA button is on the left side of the IP, next to the mirror controls.

red triangle is in the center console, between the center vents.

 

I couldn't remember if it said HAZARD or PASSENGER AIRBAG. Thanks for correcting me.
Regardless, the red triangle button does light up.
There is a thread floating around that has videos for removing the center console pieces, but basically, you remove the aluminum trim pieces and use a flat screwdriver or similar wrapped in a MF towel to push up on the front of that piece. It will pop straight up out of the dash. Disconnect two harnesses and you have it removed.
blkaspec--sixsixfour corrected me on what was there. If your hazard button does not light, you have a blown bulb.
Champ-no, we are talking about the 4 way hazard flashers button located in the upper center console area.

 

DWB could it vary by year? Mine doesn't light up but the passenger air bag thing lights up when I start the car but turns off and doesn't turn on or off regardless of if i have passengers or not....

 

Right---the airbag warning light is connected to a sensor in the passenger seat that lights up at ignition as a test. If you have a child in the front seat (<50lbs or so) the light will come on, indicating that the airbag on that side has been automatically disabled as a safety feature.
It is a completely different system from the hazard button illumination. I actually replaced the lights for both the PASSENGER AIRBAG and the hazard button itself. The button needs a white LED and I went with blue for the text. I left the warning light itself amber (reads AIRBAG OFF or similar).

 

My hazard light has never lit up. Weird

 

It should light up... I was installing my dom unit and isimple, after taking off and putting together things several time they bulb went out... i will be replacing the LEDS inside the switch soon

 

i dont know how mine would light up, its just a grey button with red triangles on it. it doesnt appear to have any areas where light would shine through...i guess i have to take a better look once it gets dark out, i may have just overlooked it.

 

The bulb inside the switch illuminates the red triangles.
