V6 front wheel drive automatic 76,000 miles.

The lights have been going out the past six months on the steering wheel and the heat/AC control panel. Now the cruise light is the only one left that will illuminate when the lights are turned on. How do I fix this problem with the lights?

You have to replace the controllers, as there are no lamps that are serviceable.

They can be fixed but you have to have a microscope to see what you are doing and be an expert solderer. 35,000 car and not quality bulbs! The steering wheel bulbs for all the components are radio shack 7219 bulbs. They are like grains of rice and must be soldered in. Reuse the blue vinyl cap from the old one and re use the white post that the bulb fits into. This is for the 2004 Le Saber. I have never had so much trouble with this car in my life!
