As the description says, the interior backlight for some of my switches aren't working. The switches include: the driver's side heated seats switch, cruise control, and the bluetooth phone pick up switch light.

These lights all stopped working at one time, so I'm thinking (well hoping) that it's just a fuse and not the individual lights not working, but if anyone has experienced this before or knows how to fix this, please and thank you.


Also, the passenger front side parking light does not work when the car headlights are on but only the right signal works. So I believe the bulb works in two parts, where the light stays on for parking lights but gets brighter when the signal is indicated. Do I need to replace the bulb in order for the parking light to back to normal? I know the bulb is 7443 but I don't know how to replace the bulb without removing the bumper. I looked at the 3G Garage DIY but couldn't find anything. All help is appreciated!

The interior switch lighting sounds like the bulbs took a dump, coincidence it happened to all of them at once IMO.

Check out the interior section of the 3G garage, there's detailed how to's in there. If you don't feel like messing with the steering wheel the dealer's a relatively cheap option. I had them replace every bulb in my steering wheel for ~60 out the door.

The front light issue sounds like you just need a new bulb. I'm a bit unfamiliar with our parking/turn signals but I'd imagine you lost the 2nd stage filament. Unless there's independent parking/turn bulbs....

I think you're right about the parking/turn signals because, well as far as I could see without opening the headlights, there is one bulb that serves 2 functions.

I'll check out the 3G garage for the switch lights though, thanks!
