side console switch lights

The switch lights on some of the rocker switches on my side console stopped working. At first it was the two RETARD switches, then the two FAN switches,. I took the panel off so I could check the contacts and the bulbs in the rocker switches. My BOOST switch light had been working but then suddenly it too went out. I took the bulbs out of one of the RETARD switches and checked it with a 12v battery, it worked fine.

The devices that the switches operate work fine just the bulbs are not lighting. Some of the rocker switches still light.

Any suggestions as to where to look for the Gremlin?

I'd suspect a ground (return) connection somewhere.
