1996 XLT
I have several bulbs in my dash/steering wheel burned out and need replacements. The bulbs are in the cruise control, rear wiper, fog lamp and rear window defroster. They look like LED type bulbs. I went to Ford and they said you have to replace the whole switch because they don't carry replacement bulbs. This is about $250.00 to fix a few burned out bulbs. Does anyone have any idea where I can get replacment bulbs? 1996 XLT, 2WD all, factory extras, V8. My dash is apart and I'd like to fix it before I have to reassemble it. Any help is appreciated.
 






radioshack sells LED bulbs, but you would probally have to do some very careful dissasembily of the switches and solder the new bulbs in. my buddies ranger had the same problem with his cruise controll switch (exact same as yours is) and after tapping it with a mag light (it was the first thing available) they turned back on. (must have been a loose connection or something). id bet your going to have to buy new switches tho man, as soldering and beating things dont allways work out too well. try a junkyard for cheaper prices on the switches.
