Default Driver's Side Door Control Module

My driver's side door control module works properly but does not light up at night when the lights are on. Any suggestions on what the problem may be?

Not sure what part you are talking about... the Door control Module (DCM) is located behind the door panel, between the panel and the door skin.
It is not visible with the panel on and doesn't have any lights on or on it.

Neither did mine when I bought my Vette. I just ordered one online for $100 and replaced ...all is good now.

I am apparently mistaken on the name of what my original question is about. Sorry about that.

This is the driver's side power window/lock switch assembly. All the switches work properly. It no longer lights up like the passengers door does.

Could be several things including bad switch or no power inside the door for the switch light circuit or bad ground. Not as likely that all the bulbs are bad but could be. They can be replaced.

Can help you later with diagnostics but rather busy and not at home now.
