Hello Guys,
Maybe someone knows the solution to my tiny little problem. The switch bulbs inside the window switches RH front, RH rear, LH rear aren’t working.
I check the primary fuse bow Fuse 6, but that one is not blown.
Do these bulbs fail sometimes and are they replaceable? I didn’t check the voltage on the switch jet, I believe the wire colour must be black (mass) an blue/yellow (dimmed voltage)
Looking at the wiring diagram, all three not working does not make sense if it is caused by a fuse or power distribution problem.
But anyway, maybe someone here with more experience can guide me to the solution.
Best Regards
Ciao William

it should work fine, if your using led's make sure you get the polairty right.
Let me know how you get on as my passanger door window button has stopped lighting up.
How easy are the switch panels to get out ?
The reason i have not done anything about mine is i'm ham fisted and am worried about snapping bits off.

thanks wcabro, looking forward to the pics / how to, i have no problem doing all my own diy on my cars but most have been fords, and if i snap something off a ford it's a few £/$.
snap something off the s type and it's usualy lots of £/$ and a load more work.

In my daily (the Caddy) the little micro bulbs are a known failure in the steering wheel radio control buttons. I had replaced the bulbs for .99 cents for 2, (2 bulbs required per switch), rather than spending $300.00 for 4 new switches.
The following is what I used and would use in Joyces Jag if required.
Disreguard the ratchet and nut driver.

Here is on of the Caddies switches dismantled:
