The lights for the cruise setting buttons on the steering wheel do not light up. If there is a fuse associated with the light circuit? If so where is it located? My manual does not specifically show its location. If it's the bulb/s, how do I replace them? Any recommended trouble shooting procedures will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello I have attached information on how to remove the switch. I don't show anything about a bulb. Some of those small switches have the lamp mounted inside so you have to replace the whole switch. I hope not, it looks like it is about $235. There may be peanut bulbs on the back once you get it out. Hope this helps - let us know REMOVAL

Remove the speed control actuator switches. Use appropriate tool to remove the switch from the steering wheel.

Disconnect the electrical connector. INSTALLATION To install, reverse the removal procedure.

You did not respond to the question "is there a fuse and if so where is it located?".

Thanks!

I ams sorry,

As you know, it appears your fuses are not set up like normal. They are number. I have searched the data base and the wiring diagrams and they don’t tell me or I can’t see which fuse they run through. The best guess is fuse F232 and F236. You may have to call the dealer on that one.
