For your info:

850/70 series dash switches have a small bulb in the back that illuminates with lights on. The dealer will tell you need a new switch, BUT

you can replace those burn out bulbs easily with radio shack's pn 272-1092, pk of 2 microlamps for $1.49.

Hope this helps someone.

Replacing dash switches little light bulbs...........not all 850s

FYI, NOT all 850s have replaceable bulbs. I'm not sure which years but I believe that the earlier years like '93-'94ish didn't allow for that and one then needed to replace the switch itself (another engineering "brainstorm").
