Default ABS lights in switch wont work!!

Well.. i dunno what happened. I replaced both bulbs in the switch.. but the lights seem dead for some reason. I took the relay out from under the dash so i could reach the seat heater switches..and plugged it back in and everything.. but now nothing. The switch itself works (the ABS turns on and off) but why wont the lights work? Did i put the relay in wrong or something? I dont think I did.. there is a 10 amp fuse in it (which i replaced also).. as far as orientation goes, the fuse should be on the left hand side when looking at the relay. So whats up?? Is my ABS switch itself taking a dump on me? let me know

its not the light in the cluster.. the switch itself works.. but the lights that are actually IN the switch (that make it red, and when activated has an arrow below it saying its on) arent working.. there are 2 bulbs in it itself. Replaced them both with new ones.. i checked the switch first thing.. the ABS light goes on and off like it is supposed to. The lights not working isnt a BIG deal i guess.. but ive been putting a lot of work into the car so i figure everything should work ya know. Thanks for the info though i appreciate it.

alright cool beans then. I just miss the fact how all my little switches used to light up but i guess as long as it works then im alright. Thanks for the help. I hate breaking stuff by accident. I may have shorted out the little resistor? thats inside the switch. Its soldered to prongs that go to the bulbs. Prob should of disconnected the car battery eh??
