Since we are on the topic of switch illumination, here is my post on what is, and is not supposed to light up.

Here is what SHOULD have illumination when your lights are on.

Besides the general illumination of the instrument panel, gear selector and climate controls, here is a list of the switches/ buttons that should be illuminated:

Overhead switches
The wording in the row of four buttons that say SPOT DOOR ROOM SPOT should illuminate green.
The sunroof open and close switches (arrows) are not illuminated.

Dash buttons
The words on the CRUISE and SECURITY buttons and the FOGLIGHT symbol, on the left side of the steering column should illuminate green. The CRUISE and FOGLIGHT buttons have amber LEDs that illuminate when activated. The SECURITY button has a red LED that flashes all the time, unless the security system is turned off or the ignition is turned on

The symbol on the REAR DEFROST button on the right side of the steering column, should illuminate green. An amber LED confirms when it is activitated.
The red triangle on the HAZARD button should illuminate red. It does not flash when operating

Lower dash (left side)
The symbols in the HEATED OUTSIDE MIRROR switch and the PARKING LIGHT button next to it, should illuminate green. The heated mirror switch has an amber LED to show that it is turned on. The parking light switch has no amber LED indicator on the 1992 cars. (On my 96, there is an amber LED in this switch to show when it is on, the 92 does not have this LED)

The MIRROR control button has no illumination for the word "MIRROR" or the L/R switch. However the four directional arrows that are on the round black disk should illuminate green.

The only button left is the small green LED in the AUTO button in the driver's side window power switch cluster. The word AUTO, like on the mirror switch does not illuminate. No other window buttons have illumination.

On later models, the door lock button on the center console should be illuminated.
