I noticed the other day that my rear defogger switch is not lit at night. The orange light comes on when I press the switch, but the little picture on the button isn't lit. Since the hazard light switch is lit at night, I wonder if the defogger switch should be lit too.

So, is your defogger switch lit at night?

 

Mine is, but my hazard switch isn't. Go figure.

 

Mine both light up.

 

Aw man, my car is falling apart!


Thanks.

 

I managed to fix mine... i took it appart and replaced the little bulb.. IT WAS A PAIN IN THE @$$, guys.....

but worth the trouble...

they sell the bulb at radioshack actually... it's a tiny glass bulb with little wires coming out..like $1.00

the only way i can tell you to do it is figure it out...

can get greasy and DON"T loose the little spring...
or any part for that matter

and VERY easy to break... but i managed without trouble..

expect to spend a long time figuring it out and putting it back together.... wish i had little fingers

 

Hey amixam69,

You don't happen to remember the radio shack part number for the bulbs you bought? I need to replace all of mine.

btw there is a way to replace the bulbs w/o having to take the switch as far apart as you did (down to the greasy spring). But admittedly I didn't figure it out until I took it apart down to the greasy spring. Damn what a B!tch!!

 

I found your previous post where you give the p/n. they are a great find! Thanks for your post. Got all my lights working now.

 

What was the Radio shack p/n for the bulbs? Can find it
Thanks

Adidas_boy - I fixed the lights on my hazard switch and my rear defroster. Thanks to an earlier post by amixam69 I was able to get replacement lamps. He found them at radio shack p/n 272-1092C (I paid 1.49 ea. for a pack of 2 lamps). Let me know if you are still trying to fix yours.

Thanks JacksMax! I going to try knocking on the dash first before I take the dash down. Dammm, I'm not looking forward to doing it!! I had hell taking it down the first time to replace my radio

 

I noticed this the other day after I had taken the top part of the "waterfall" off to wire my Valentine into the electrical system. My defogger was no longer lit. So I popped the top part off again and made sure the wiring plug was tight, and poof, the button was lit again.

It really shouldn't be hard to take the top piece off!

 

Ok, I had this problem on my car. . . Whenever I took the dash apart the bulb would go out. . . Here is my fix. . . Tap the dash to the upper left of the switch pretty firmly a couple times. . . The light comes right back on. . .The lights are seated in a way that is very poor and so they are easily disloged.

 

Anyone knows the o.e.m. Part number to the led in the fan speed ****. I lost to blue condom thingy when I was replacing it with a radio shack bulb it works fine, but it's mad ugly with out that blue condom because it gives out yellow light. If any body know. Please help a brother out. Thanks

 

Mine just started another rattle yesterday... argh.

Curse of the Minima.

 

Radio Shack 272-1092c (Package of 2) $1.49

 

thanks a lot for the help guys. but i didnt need the l.e.d. i need the blue condom that went on the led. on my packaged i payed 1.49 for 3 when it said 2 on it hehehe. i guess i was lucky. with out the blue condom it looks mad ugly because its all yellow.
