Dashboard Switch Illumination.
Posted: 12 Oct 2021, 18:14
I am currently refitting my dash and the instrument console and have noticed that there are some switches that light up with the lights and some don't. I have had the van for five years but rarely drive in the dark and have previously assumed bulbs were blown so never looked into it. I only have a Haynes manual and the wiring diagram is challenging at best but from what I can see I shoud have the following:
Headlamp switch is backlit and lights up when the side or headlights are on.
Hazard switch is not backlit (Doesn't light up when the side or headlights are on) and only flashes when the hazards are on.
Rear foglight switch has a warning light that comes on when the rear foglight is switched on but has no backlight.
Heated Rear Window is backlit and also has a warning light to show when the HRW is switched on.
Can anyone confirm if this sounds about right?
