I had the lightbulbs tested and they are both working. The light will turn on when I push any of the three buttons but the one that says door on it. The mechanic says there is a "modem" beneath the buttons and that it might be the culprit. I have not been able to locate a site where I could purchase such "modem". Do you know the name of this part and where I can purchase it? Thank you.

yes it is called a modem and most likely only comes with the switch and would have to be ordered at the dealer
