Start button light out

Today I turned on the car and the start button light didn't come on. Is there a fuse associated with that light? if not, does anyone have a replacement for sale or is it a dealer only part. Thanks much!

It is fed from fuse F7, however if that had blown many other things would not work either. It is probably, the light, or connection that is faulty

They have been known to flicker and then burn out. Many here have just left them burnt.

the connector for the lamp is a dinky thing and may have vibrated loose.
it just might be worth looking at, if you can do it yourself.
good luck.

I actually took the panel off before I thought to search here, (I love working on this car, its so simple), cleaned the connectors, and put it back together, but no dice. All the other interior dash lights work, so I'm guessing it's the little LED that's dead. I actually kinda like the illuminated start button, and I'm in central jersey, so I guess the dealer in Hopewell would be able to hook me up with a new LED. Thanks!
