As for window controls, the bulb may be built into the switch and not be available as a separate piece. Varies from one application to another.

That would deprive members of valuable information. Let's keep it here so we can all learn and benefit.

haven't been able to figure it out. Please let me know.
Thanks

If there is a problem, you should try cleaning the plastic switches - either with a small amount of alcohol or warm water. That's a LOT cheaper than replacing them. This may or may not solve your problem but it is worth checking it out.

Some of them are a quarter turn plastic holder of varying colours/bulb sizes. The dealers do not stock them here (Canada, however you can buy replacement bulbs of the same size or close to them from commercial Electronics stores (not Radio Shack or The Source). They are wire lead bulbs and you need to pull the dead bulbs out of the plastic holders and replace them with new ones. No soldering required. The radio and Rear Window defog switch require you to unsolder the bulbs (using Dry Wick to get the solder off) and solder new ones in - I used Eiko #1118 Grain of Wheat bulbs, pulling the old bulbs out of the little plastic holders with pliers and a knife to get all of the broken glass out. I Could not see a way to remove the bulbs from the 4 x 4 switch, as they are behind the circuit board which is non removeable (?. I cannot see an easy way to get at the bulbs behind the steering wheel audio controls. Very close to the airbag.
I hope this helps.

P.S.Can someone please where the body control module is located and how much it might cost.
working on a 1999 2wd blazer, the diver side brake light works intermitting. Some times it works some times it don't.I've pulled the driver seat and the carpet back to check for shorts, but no luck. Also the gas gauge does not work properly, it moves back from full to empty but only when at a stop, not driving.
Please help
One of mine does that and we use the trip odometer to be sure till I get the cash and ambition to do it.
Pull the brake ligt assembly off the rear (2 screws hold on from hatch side - open hatch to access - check the socket and assembly for water/moisture. Under the rear bumper theres a wiring bundle for trailer lights - see if that is good no cuts etc.
It seems to be completely random... it's happened when simply putting the car in gear, it's happened when turning the wheels to pull out of a parking spot, under normal driving conditions (REALLY SCARY - as it will lose all electrical so no flashers or brake lights), one I even got to work fine and when I came out to start the car at lunch there was no power - disconnect the battery/reconnect the battery and it was fine.
It seems like a short somewhere and it's frustrating as hell! Please somebody give me a place to start. I don't have the money to put it into a dealership for them to troubleshoot an electrical problem. Luckily we have a third car that I can drive temporarily until this one is safe again.
Thanks!
I put the fuse back in, and yes the lights stay on. I "worked" all the door switches and they seemed to work freely. I also checked the dimmer/override switch and that seems to work, ie; dash lights dim.
This fuse also runs the horn and the electric mirrors.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks..... :confuse:
I'm taking it tomorrow.
Thanks.... :confuse:
I seem to have a dead short in the circuit that conrols my rear lift for the glass, the interior light and the horn. I can't even put a fuse in the fuse box for this circuit.
It started as an intermittant blowing of the fuse when I would open the rear glass.
Anyone else experienced this?
Any ideas of where to start, I have to go through inspection next month?
