Option Button Light
I just noticed this evening that the "Option" button does not light up while the other buttons do. The button operates just fine, however. What creates the light for these buttons and is there a way to replace it myself?
Thanks.
Thanks.

The '07 service manual shows the entire switch pod for the DIC to be a single replaceable part. Same thing for the HUD switch pod.
I guess that's their way of saying no user serviceable parts inside.

I just checked GM Parts House and the switch assembly can be found here:

Both the info from the service manual and the link to the part were for an '07. I wouldn't think there was much change from '06 to '07 as far as these parts are concerned though.
One nice bennefit you get from ordering parts from GM Parts House is that if you include your VIN with the order, Gene will verify the parts you're ordering are the appropriate ones for it. And that includes any upgrades from the part numbers shown in the catalogs.
You're welcome

Thanks for the link. I'll have to first check how easy it is (or not) to remove these buttons. Strange that someone else would have this problem...mine is an '05, but the catalog shows 05-08.

It is really easy to remove and reinstall.
On the first try the clips will give a little more resistance than mine does but just pull firmly and it will pop off.

Some of us owners have time for a DIY approach to try and repair the individual pieces in a module like this to minimize costs whereas a service department is more interested in having us buy an entire assembly that they'll profit from and spend 10 minutes replacing it and charging us for the service time to make even more profit.

You're welcome.
You probably could depending on how the main case is put together. It's just not what GM recommends for the dealers due to the 'time is money' mentality of today's service practices.

Exactly.
