I need some advice. Last night when I got to my car I noticed that the light for the fuel cover is out The one for the rear hatch still works. Has anyone replaced those lights in the past ?
Here is a photo of what I am talking about:

Don't think my are lit either. If they are I have never noticed.

08 3LT Vert. Both my trunk and fuel door button lights ARE illuminated.

That's supposed to be lighted?

Guessing here: I rarely drive mine at night (too many deer) and I know I've NEVER filled the tank at night. So it probably IS lit, but I've never noticed it because I've never used either of those buttons at night.

Both are lit on my 07. Hard to see them when your driving, steering wheel blocks your view. Not surprised many don't know their lighted.

I'm with you, never paid attentions to look to see if they lighted up, will look next out at night.

You have to forgive my previous post, just took the car out of the garage, and when the lights came on I looked, YES they light up, how to replace the bulb, I guess I'll learned when someone post's HOW!

I had to do the same thing. Went out to turn the lights on to find out but they come on when the door is opened. Just goes to show you can learn something new every day.

If only one is light, then the bulb in that side button's burned out on the board.

The button is easy to remove and pull apart to get to the light on the board, and will just need to solder a new bulb back into the button.

The #7219 bulb used in the dash pods and such is going to be too large, so would need a smaller 12v micro bulb like the T1-1-4-12V-0 bulb isntead.

Hence smaller type bulb used on the door push button boards, then the larger #7219 bulbs used on the dash pad board isntead.

The question is how to remove that panel ? Do you pry it from the front or do you have to go from the back of the panel ????

Dano to the rescue . . . again! Attachment 48331950

Okay I had to try: I pry a flathead screwdriver next to the plastic frame and it just popped out. Time 2 seconds



This is what it looks like after you pull it out. As you can see it is just a clip on. I did not continue because i did this in a parking lot. So I will do the rest when I am at home and will return and report with photos

It seems that the connections was lose. Wiggle the connections and the light went on.
