Window Switch lighting

Driving home from the polls last night I noticed that the passenger side window switch was not illuminated. So before I go digging in my door panels, does anyone know if the light in the window switch is replaceable?
If so, have the lamp number?

Bill

I have no idea, but.........

I know on my 07', if I have the windows "locked", so the passengers can't operate them, the lights on the pass. door and two back doors won't illuminate. "Unlock" the windows and the lights come back on.

Just thought I'd mention it, it might be something that simple

Thanks Outlaw,
But I have a SuperCab truck that does not have a lockout.
If I have a problem with my passenger opening the window I can just reach over and bop them in the back of the head.
Well, it looks like I will be digging into my door panels this weekend.
I'll keep everyone up to speed on what I find.

Bill.

Hi all,
As I promised, I returned with news.
After disassembling said light switch, there are two green LEDs soldered on the switch body, under the rocker (top) part.
Checking the LED with the diode setting on my Fluke meter, DAMN, they showed good.
So I reassembled the switch, reinstalled it and the damn thing works.
I guess I had a loose connection at the plug-in (or in my head).

Anyway, all is now right with the world (my world).

Thanks to all for the help and input.

Bill.
