Here's some pics from the interior of the switch. It will require soldering to replace the bulb, but doesn't look hard. The trick will be sourcing the bulbs.

It is, James did it for me when my car was in last time. Actually, he got them to WORK, not sure if he replaced a bulb or not. He did say that they were replaceable, but required some soldering. |

Thanks everyone for the assistance. based on this info, there's definitely something miswired in the console. Fun. Fortunately, Ferrari UK has the console harness in stock, so this is looking like a mostly minor inconvenience. Jim, FYI, the bulbs are actually integrated into the switches. I'll pull the melted one apart and we'll see if it's actually a replaceable part. |

Mine won't come up easily, but I tried! |

Yes, they do. There's a colored dot on the switch that matches a colored dot on the connector. |

Mine is locked down somehow, I tried to pull it up a little a while back because I had some burned bulbs in one of the switchs. I'll look again tonight if I can. |

There's a link on here to the 328 manual online, I don't know how easy it would be to get the info you're looking for. |

No, you have to lift up the back set of switches. Mine just lifted without any problems, but it might supposed to be locked down and mine was missing whatever that locking element is. |

I will if someone doesn't get to it first. I don't know the first time I can look though. Can you see the wire connectors from the outside? |

Can you take a look at the rearmost switches on your console and tell me if the colored dots under the switches correspond with the color on the wire connectors? I think mine were switched around a while back and might have contributed to the electrical fire. Thanks T |
