Help with upfitter switch lights

Anyone know what causes indicator lights to go out on upfitter switches? Mine are out (the dashlight and amber indicator when switch is on) I see they are LEDs. I checked the 5V fuse at the box above the glove box, she is OK. Reseated all Plugs/Jacks. Maybe the switch PWB has an LED driver on it that went south. To bad, the switch box is only 3 months old. Other than the LEDs, the switch functions and turnes on/off my items hooked up to them. I added the switches after I purchased the truck in Jan 07. Thanks ahead for any help..Mike

If you lost the dashlight and indicator lights on all the upfitters, my guess would be that you have a bad ground on the backlight circuit for them.

Thanks

JohnnysF350, THANKS, you were right. The ground was disconnected. During my ISSPRO gauge hookup, must have left the switch ground off. Good Job!
