the light that lights up the 4x4 switch is burned out. does anyone know where i can find a bulb for it?

 

Have you looked to see if the fuse is bad?

 

Auto Zone? My first coice is always the local parts store. Now if your talking about the light internal to the switch...I dont know that you can actually change that. But then again, I have never tried to change one.

 

i checked the light and it is actually bad. the light is mounted so you just turn it and it pops out. it is a quarter turn twist and it pops out.

 

What year/model truck?

 

2003 F150 FX4 model

 

go to www.partsamerica.com

Do a search with your truck specs, (assuming it has the 5.4L), and search for "Lamps". It looks like what you need is under "Instrument Lamps"

If not instrument lamps, there are quite a few more types of "lamps" there.

 

jodypbeck, man when I bought my truck used, the same light bulb was burned out. I searched and searched and searched, but to no avail. Even the dealership would only sell me the entire switch, $48 for a flippin' light bulb (since my switch wasn't bad). So this is what I did, I bought a small bulb at Advance auto parts, put a test light on each of the four wires that goes into the switch in back, spliced into the ones I needed (on mine it was the two outside wires on the incoming plug) and wired up my new bulb. I just stuck it into the existing light bulb hole, and held it in place with a little electrical tape. I also put a red bulb in, to minimize the accidental shift into 4x4 (since the dial is just like the HVAC and right next to it). It works great, was cheap, was easy, and looks pretty cool too. Hope this helps.

 

got mine at wal-mart for about $4. took about an hour to get the stupid thing changed out though
