Regarding the lift gate window switch

[MrEMan]

Does anyone know if the lift gate window switch has a bulb that can be replaced? Mine is dark ... the switch still works, it just isn't lit anymore. Just an annoying little detail, not worth the cost of replacing the switch. I can't seem to find a reference to a bulb and I'd like to know before I pull everything apart ...

It pops right out of the dash. Pop it out and see if there are bulbs in there.

Pops right out? The switch or the console?

there is a bulb, you can replace it, pop out the switch and its right on one of its sides. i changed my bulb since mine was dark too.

Both - but you should be able to pop the switch out without having to remove the console.

Cool ... anything I should know before I start trying to pop out the switch? How best to pop it out?

Pop off HVAC controls. (There's a thread somewhere on how, easy, 1 bolt) You'll then have access to the rear of the switch. Just push it forward from its rear, and it will pop out the front of console. That's it.

Either factory oem bulb, or a neo3 led to replace.

Thanks ... that confirms that it would be better to pop off the HVAC controls first. Does anyone know if the bulb is part# 90010-09017 (the same bulb used to replace backlighting for the multi-instrument display)? Or a different bulb?
