Take out the little section where the switches are. The heated seat switch buttons are screwed into this plate. Unplug the wire, unscrew, and fix or replace.

To get the switch section out, you will have to remove the larger dash bezel, that goes over the radio, steering wheel, etc. Search the board here for Radio Repair or somesuch to find instructions.

Club member Harofreak00 will replace the bulb for a modest fee and mail it back to you, or you can disassemble the switch and do it yourself if you are good at soldering.

While you have this open, it is a good time to do some cleaning of the plate and areas you normally can't reach.
