HELP! Steering wheel lights are going out. 2006 Silverado
 
HELP! My steering wheel lights are going out on my 2006 Silverado. The little buttons that have the radio, fuel, odomter, ect. are going out one-by-one. How are these fixed. I wish it was as easy as a fuse, or popping out the button and changing a bulb, but I have a feeling that that is not it.
Please advise me what needs to be done to get these fixed.
Thanks!

On my Mom's Buick LeSabre, it was all one assy, switch and lamp. They just pop out. Before you buy any new ones, make sure they are plugged in well (you may have to pop some out to make sure). The truck seems kind of new for this to be happening already. I wonder if something is wrong behind the airbag or in the column, like a bad harness or something. If the truck is still under warr, I believe these lights would be covered.

I don't think you can change a bulb in those. Must be a small LED I'm guessing. I had a couple going out and bought all four buttons for about $30 off of ebay. All brand new factory items. You will need a steering wheel puller as well. Once you have the wheel off, take a long flat screwdriver and push them out from behind. It's pretty easy.

What are the buttons listed as on ebay?

Are you still under warranty?

Here is a link to the replacement I ordered. A little more than I thought.
