03 Expy Window Buttons

The front window & lock buttons seem to be losing the lighting under them. It looks like the panel over them on the door will just lift up. Has anyone done this before? Is it easy to replace the bulb, or is it even replaceable?

Thanks!

I don't think they are replaceable. I had mine off recently to clean the contacts because the window stopped working. I didn't see any bulbs, just a plastic dot that lit up. If you do decide to go into the buttons I'd encourge you to buy a small can of contact cleaner and pull out the entire assembly (real easy) and give them a cleaning. It's hard to believe that my "03" were so dirty that the window stopped going up by using the drivers controls.

that plastic dot that lites up is probably an LED (light emiting diode), but it may not be removable.
I agree with shov76, take it apart and get a can of cotact cleaner (radio shack or parts store) that may be the problem, at that point you may be able to see if the led is removable.
