Default Climate control light wont work

The light once in a great while will come on, but usually doesn't ever come on. I've had it apart and looks at the socket and it seems to be ok, but I cannot tell.. Nor do I know where to get a new socket that small?! Can anyone help me out? Thanks everyone

That socket is a cheap POS. I had to fool with mine and replace the lamp, which is a #74. If mine falls out again I'm gonna glue it in....
Not sure where to get a new socket..

Tweak the pins/tabs/POSs of the socket.

The socket in mine is plastic. Last evening I was all over the 'net looking for replacement sockets like that. So far...no cigar...
If I had a p/n for those I might be more successful..
