Passenger Seat Warmer Lights out...

The lights that say on, off, and pic of seat.
The yellow light showing on status works.

Is there just a fuse to replace?

Try hitting it. It sounds dumb but you could knock the filament back into place and get some extra life out of that bulb. It's worked for me before. Same spot actually, and that was a year ago.

So far so good.

Replace the bulb! Its somewhat easy, and as long as your in there replace the drivers side one. The last thing you want to do is put it all back together and have the other go out. You will have to order the twist and lock bulb from the dealer.

Actually replacing the bulbs is pretty easy. You have to gently pry up the trim pieces on both sides of the console to release the clips and there are two screws that hold the front of the console in place. Deep inside the armrest are two more screws that have to be removed and then gently pull back the console making sure you unplug the harness connectors.

As I recall there are three bulbs in each switch and you don't have to pull the switch out to change the bulbs but the little bulbs can be a pita to handle. If you drop one it is gone forever deep within the console. While you are there, do both rockers and change all the bulbs. I'm sure this is in the 3G garage.
