Hello there! Just the other day, I notice that the buttons on my Center radio console do not light up. Is there a specific fuse, or bulb to be replaced? Any ideas?

If the dash illuminations are working, it is not a fuse problem as they are in the same circuit.

Most likely bad bulbs.

I had the same problem and solution was simple. Check fuse 37 this illuminates center console as well as the rear left tail light. Fuse 37 is 10A easy swap and all is back to normal.
