Heated seats light not working

My driver's side heated seat light is not working anymore. (the part with the little seat)

How do I go about fixing this? I thought it may have been a bulb and went to the dealer and they wanted to charge me a ton of money since they said it was a sensor? I havent taken out the dash yet, any input??

BTW the passenger side is fine.

You're going to need to solder in a surface mount led sounds easy until you do it

Isn't a new switch only about $25, just replace the switch yourself.

damn do you guys not read lol. the heated seats work, but the light is burnt. you can even see the i have the low setting on and that bar is lit up. I'll take out the dash and check behind it, not really a big priority at this point.
