I don't "think" the light is replaceable, at least by the person with everyday electrical abilities. You'd have to replace the switch pod, to the tune of about $70+ IIRC. So now you have to decide how much that little light is worth, LOL !

thanks for the info. its weird, because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. just bought my sport track last week and im loving it, and this is the only issue ive had with it. i think ill pass on the 70 bucks.

$62 on amazon, easy fix just make sure you disconnect your battery and leave it down for a like 15 minutes before fussing with the airbag
