    Hey guys I bought 2012 DC TRD OR less than a week ago. I notice the other night that buttons for the traction control, fog lights, dif lock, mirror controls and power switch for the bed outlet don't want to light up.

    Only the DAC and RSCA buttons light up. I checked all the fuses underneath them and they all look fine. Maybe some of them aren't suppose to but just want to make sure. Any thoughts?
    Thanks, Ken

    Make sure your dial is up on the left side of steering wheel. If it up and the still don’t work your bulbs may be burnt out . When I bought my 2010 a year ago all my ac control lights were out , fog, track were burnt out

    Yeah it's turned up. Are they hard to replace? Just pop them out and throw a new bulb in?

    The bulb color changed in ‘09 or ‘10. You need green. Not all of those are supposed to illuminate. I know the mirror one, at least, has no bulbs.

    Yeah I was wondering that which was suppose to be on or not. I would think the fog light has a bulb but I'd kinda understand if they don't light up the dif lock. Though I did hit it by accident the other day and drove half a mile with the switch on. Luckily the programming won't let it engage. Still makes me think they should all be lit up.

    Yes he’s correct. You’ll need the green ones. Your dealer should be able to get it for you.

    Fog and Diff Lock light up on mine. Inverter only lights up when on. Mirror doesn't light up. The traction control on my 2014 at work I don't think lights up either.

    If you pop the switches out the little bulb twists out with a flathead from the side of the switch.
