Buick electrical woes

[Mekanic]

On a 2001 Buick LeSabre with lighted controls on the steering wheel (radio, temp., cruise control etc.), are the switches lit by bulb or other means? The temperature control switch does not light up on the steering wheel while all the others do. How do you remove the switch to repair the bulb if it has one? thanks

Methinks it is easier to get a new switch, seeing as how they used an led soldered inside it to light it up.

Thanks Buickmaster. Now how do you remove the switches? Do they just pry outwards with a small screwdriver?

[buickmastermind]

Maybe, maybe not. You might have to pull the steering wheel cover off entirely. Not sure, seeing as how I don't own an 01, but I really think that if you are careful, the switches sould come out without tearing apart the wheel. I'm sure of it. If it works, go for it.

Yes the switch just prys out using a small screwdriver.

Thank you both for your help
