Dash board lamp replacement S70

Can anyone clue me in on how to replace the lamps in the dash board buttons. The lamps in my TRAC & Rear Windor > Mirror Defroster buttons no longer illuminate, and when its dark I find myself fishing around to find them.

Thanks

    Dash board lamp replacement (SMACK EM!) S70

    I have had relatively good luck by giving the car a good whack on the dash when I loose lights. It seems that the connection is the weakest link in the chain.

    Mad,

    They pull out. Use a small screwdriver or similar tool and CAREFULLY pry from the top until you can grip the switch and remove it.

    Disconnect the wiring and remove the switch from the car. You will see a small round cap which houses the bulb. Use a screwdriver to remove the cap and pull the bulb out.

    You can get replacements from the dealer or an electronics supplier.

    Bryan
