Console lights
 

Hey guys,

So I've finally manned up and decided to tackle the little electrical gremlin I've been having for 2 years now, haha.

My antenna is verrryyyyyyyyyy testy. It didn't work when I bought the car, so I assumed it was the antenna mast or motor or whatnot, but no, after driving one day last year, I decided to turn it on.

Voila, it went RIGHT up, with little hesitation. I cleaned it up and oiled it, and went about my merry way.

3 months later, she decides not to rear her head up from the antenna port, and every so often when I try, it won't go up unless I hold it in the raise position, and not click it to max.

Now, however, it does not work at all; surprisingly get some good reception on local stations though...

ANYWAYS, my question is, all of my console lights are illuminated except for the antenna and rear lamp, which I see are on the same circuit and fuse.

The lamp works.

Are these two switches supposed to be illuminated?

I don't know why I thought of the switch as a possible problem... My fader only rolls forwards too, could that be an issue as well?


Thanks guys,


Carlen

Guys,


All I need is to know if those switches illuminate, not what could be wrong...


Thanks guys,


Carlen

Wow, I don't mean to be impatient, but no one can tell me if these switches light up? :confused:

Yes, they should light up, as well as the indicators on the bottom of the center A/C vent assembly. These are lit by fiber optic cables, not individual lights. The bulb is behind the climate control panel on the front of the heater core/evaporator case.

Had to look in your profile to see which car you were talking about.
