Driver door panel lights

Hey just noticed that at night, my drivers side door (04 SCREW lariat) has only the back two window switches lit up at night and nothing else. I assume its just a bulb that's burned out, how would I go about taking that piece apart to switch the bulb in the door? Thanks

If you are talking about on the master window switch, that the only switches illuminated are the rear window switches ( i.e. the front 2 are not illuminated ), that would be dead LEDs.

There is a thread in the Technical Articles / How to Forum on how to change the LEDs.

On mine, the LEDs aren't dead. There's something wrong with the board itself, or a component on the board. When I took mine apart, it was somewhat dark around one of the resistors on the board.

Here's how you take apart an Expedition switch. I'm sure F150 should be similar.

Here's the LEDs themselves.

Probably not. You'll probably have to order them. Before you order, though, try doing what I did in the video and push on the board. The LEDs are probably not out.
