Default Help please for steering wheel

I want to know if the lights in the buttons of the steering wheel (stereo control) have a seprate fuse or source. The buttons work fine but don't light up when the lights are turned on.

Thanks in advance,

Ive had mine apart and from what i can tell they are just soldered to the little circuit board inside, no seperate fuse or anything. i currently have one out and one on and i just attribute it to the bulb being burned out. you could always snag some from a junkyard or if your any good at soldering you could throw some leds in.

This question has been asked and answered a lot lately. I wonder why so many bulbs are burning out?

This link has instructions for bulb replacement: http://doghouse.2y.net/gtp/steeringcontrols/
