Hi all, just wondered if anyone could help...

Noticed last night on the way back in the dark that some of the buttons on the dash were not illuminated.

Rear heated window switch (little orange light comes on when you switch it on though)
Rear wiper and washer switches
Headlight level adjustment dial
Mirror adjustment switch

Just wondering if these light up in other peoples cars or not then I know whether to spend time investigating!

Cheers in advance

Okay so guessing some investigation required. Assume it is more likely to be blown bulbs rather than a fuse, especially as the heater control lights and fog light switch illumination is fine.

Can you just pop the switches out in the normal fashion?

I'm pretty sure all the controls in the centre console are illuminated, but the rear wash/wipe is on the left hand stalk... which i don't recall being anything more than painted on symbols :S

Also don't think the light leveling wheel or the mirror asjustment is lit.

I'll check tonight if i remember

Are lecy window switches illuminated?

Must be slight differences coming in through facelifts. Rear wiper is operated by a button to the right of the centre fans on my 1999.

I was also wondering if they should be? Mine don't light either!

Checked this morning driving into work.

All the centre console on mine is lit, including the rear screen and hazards button.

Fog light switches are also illuminated. But the roller for light height adjustment, the toggle for the mirrors and lecy windows are not illuminated. My lecy windows are pretty much plain buttons with the drivers.

My rear wiper is definately on my left hand stick twisty end
