Diff lock switch with all bulbs working

[Colesy]

Two of the bulbs have blown in my switch, does anyone have a known good one for sale?

The bulbs are easily replaced.In Canada, our source is Radio Shack,the bulbs are only $1.50 each.Part no. 292-1097, if my memory serves me correctly.

Cheers for the replies, I'll be going down the fix it route.

I am going to have to do lots more soldering to justify the new soldering station I've bought!

Well, I just soldered in 3 new bulbs and the whole switch now lights up perfectly...

But the green light still isn't coming on.

So my guess is that the sensor isn't working or there's a wiring problem somewhere.

Has anyone tested the sensor before or replaced it?

Or is it possible that one of the resistors or diodes in the switch is bust?

Drive the car forward slowly to see if the light comes on, it won't light up till the diff actually engages

Tried that, thanks for the suggestion though. Could it be that while the mechanism moves that it isn't fully engaging? When I looked from under the car the lever moves as it should but it's hard to tell if it actually engages.
