Guest psyopper Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) Here's the question - all of the switches around the steering column, such as the Cruise Control, Rear Wiper, Hazard and the rest, don't light up at night. This makes the task of finding the appropriae switch a little random. Are these switches supposed to be lit? My rear defrost switch is backlit, but none of the others are. If they are how do I get to the lamps and change them? Thanks! Brad Edited January 2, 2006 by psyopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest psyopper Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 OK, so even I hate me for not using the search! Fuses checked out OK, rear lights OK, it's got the stock stereo installed. The gauges light up just fine, the stereo lights up fine, it's just the switches. Some more research may be necessary. I did notice to pigtails hanging out from under the dash behind the fuse box. Darned if I know how two pigs got up under there though... Seriously though, there were two pigtails, one was a two-pin and the other a 6 pin. There didn't seem to be any sockets to plug them into within reach. Any ideas? Could one of these be part of the problem? Thanks! Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 If you have the XE then the 2 pin is probably a white connector for the footwell lights they put in the SEs. (I got a set in the junkyard and added them in my 93) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveMyPatty Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 They put footwell lights in the SE's? Why don't I have any.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 They put footwell lights in the SE's?Why don't I have any.... My 88 doesn't have the wires/connectors for them, might have been something added in 93+ models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my '91 SE new and they were never lit. I thought something was wrong until I looked at 2 other new 'Finders on the lot at the time and theirs didn't light either. A small oversight on Nissan's part, I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfather99 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I second that!!! those switches should light up but they don't but with my luck they woudl just end up being one more electrical problem for me to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest psyopper Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I thought so. From looking at them closely yesterday it lookslike the letters/symbols are just painted on. Oh well, I guess it's blind fumbling until I get used to what's where... Thanks gacruiser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
