Default Lights in the steering wheel ???

Can the lights for the radio/truck settings in the steering wheel be changed out? I have had two lights go out on my '06 and it bugs the **** out of me.

Thanks

The switches themselves are removable. Pull them out and see if you can tear into them or buy new ones.

They may be soldered in to the circuit board, if so, you can de-solder them and probably find them at Radio Shack. That's what I did when the lights in my power mirror switch and climate control went bad.

Half of the lights on my steering wheel are burned out, I don't plan on replacing the switches. Doesn't bother me one bit.....

Yea i just bought the volume and channel switches for my truck and they only cost me 28.00 dollars each. And all u gottta do it put some take on the end of a flat head so u dont screw up the steering wheel. Then just pry up on the side of it and they should pop out. The hard part is getting the plugs back into the new switches.
