You'll need to check the switch with an ohm meter. There would be tutorials on YT.

To get to the wires (and to replace the switch), you'll need to tear the center console and shifter area apart to get to this section of the console. Be careful - there are lots of delicate arms that snap into place. Break one and that particular piece may be rendered useless. A set of trim remover tools comes in handy. There's prob an article on Pelican Parts about how to remove the pieces of your console or there may be a YT vid. Many parts will have to be removed before you can get to that section. Once you have that section out, you can check the switch with the ohm meter and replace it if necessary. It just snaps in / out.

A bit of google searching will find the part # of that switch (assuming you need to replace it). Check with the dealer for a price, but chances are it will be cheaper to buy that section of the console (with the switches already in place) on ebay.

Top Tip: when working on tearing interior panels out, I go to ebay to find those particular panels. Sellers will show back side pics that will display the locations of the snaps and screw heads. Comes in handy to know where they're at when attacking blind from the front side.
