scottmcphee Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 In my 06 Legacy 2.5i wagon, I notice that only the driver's window switch is back-lit red showing the word "AUTO" but all other switches on the console in the door are not lit. Same goes for all other window switches on all other doors, dark at night. It appears there are lighting markers on these window switches but there's no LED behind them. Is this normal? Do they light up with higher trim levels (LTD?).. Can somebody please check on their car? (thanks) If it's a case of missing LEDs to save a few manufacturing pennies.. then I was thinking of cracking open the switches and adding the necessary LEDs, or drilling an LED into the door panel from above to shine down on the window console switches.

Slickvic Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 They are lit at night on mine unless I have the passenger windows disabled. Are yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I'm betting you have the passenger window disable button set. It just cuts power to the other window switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottmcphee Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 It totally makes sense, window lockout turns LEDs off.. and wow, I'm impressed at form-follows-function on this design decisions. You guys just saved me hours of tinkering for no reason, and saved me even more embarrassment of finding this tid bit out after the fact. Kudos!
