Default Window switch lights

some of the arrows are out on my master window switch. can I replace those bulbs in the switch or is it all in the switch, I wouldn't mind having leds in there but at least all the lights working would be nice. thanks guys

Same issue, drives me nuts. Sometimes a couple of them come back on, so obviously the bulb isnt bad.

Bugs me too!!!!!!

I actually pulled my switch right apart and tried to get at the bulb..... not that easy unfortunately.

To answer though, they're right in the switch. I've pulled my switch right apart to try but it's not easy...

You can replace the whole switch for about 20-40 bucks off Ebay

I just threw this write-up together on the other power window lights:

https://www.f150forum.com/f4/power-w...se-fix-237543/

It's not the master control but it'll help with the others. I haven't pulled my master apart yet as I haven't ran into the problem there but I wouldn't be surprised if it's similar.

Hopefully this helps anyways.

Yeah you can find 'em on Ebay for about $35 or Rock Auto for about $50.

I agree, that's the easy way. I replaced mine already once... wasn't going to do that again (either call it a loss or figure out what's actually going on). It can add up if you keep replacing all 4 haha. Obviously it's not worth it!


Keep in mind, my post relates to ALL switches (lock/unlock, etc). If you were to replace all of the switches at that price you'd be $200-300 in easily. If you're up for the challenge (and it doesn't take long) this should solve it.
