Your overhead map lights don't work anymore?

Do they look like this?

Let's fix it. :pca1:

If the lens still clicks when you push it, check the bulb.

If its loose and floppy, the switch is probably toast. :argh:

The bulb is a 906, go to NAPA/Autozone/Checkers and get a pack.

To remove the the consoles there are two tabs in the garage door opener compartment, the right one was already broken off, I swear:

Press/release them, pull the front down a little and slide the console to the rear of the cab, the back looks like this:

It takes a little force, so don't panic.

If you have a overhead display it will look like this:

If not (notice that the passenger side switch is completely gone) :

Here's why the switch doesn't work anymore, if its even still there:

Here's the tab to remove the lens to change the bulb, use a pick or small screwdriver:

There are two different versions of the switch I've encountered, they function the same:

Digital Display Models(D)
Attachment 62689
Yellow/Black/Black

Standard(S)
Attachment 62690
Yellow/White/Black

Here's the replacement part from Digi-Key, part# 527PB-ND, JUDCO# 40-4169-00:

I'm not using the threaded collar, the switch has a grove just like factory already, just slide it back in.

Looking from the back of the factory switch(black side)
Left/Yellow = To main console plug (door switch/dimmer control)
Center/White(S) or Black(D) = From Bulb
Right/Black = To main console plug (Ground)

I like matching wiring colors as much as possible.
I wired the black to black, white(or center black) to white, and red to yellow.
But you can just wire it up left to right, works the same.
