Scott, my 99 has never worked if it was supposed to be lighted.

There are two bulbs. The OD switch lighting runs off the same fuse as your dash lights, the dimmer circuit, if it's blown you will have no dash lights. Not sure where the power for OD off indicator light comes from. Remove the four screws, two each in the cup holder and ashtray, pop off the dash cover, remove the two screws holding the switch, pop off the back of the switch. There's the bulbs.

Bill, button not light. The dash light works, not the button.



EDIT: BTW, my button is in the auto shift lever. I know a 95 is in the dash but am not sure when that changed.

LS, not absolutely sure since you have a newer truck, but on the older ones the button is illuminated with the dimming dash lights. When OD is off separate orange light comes on, different circuit. It's been awhile since I've messed with one but if I remember right the light runs off the same power as the OD off circuit, if a fuse is the problem you will have no OD off, it would then have to be the bulb. Your newer dash cover has no screws to remove, it just pops off.
