    Door lock switch illumination

    Are the door lock switches supposed to light up? Neither of mine are. Thanks.

    yes, so do the window switches, heated seat switches and light switch. All tend to go bad. I have re-soldered a few of mine to get them to work again. If you buy new door lock switches note that there is actually a drivers side and a passenger side. Single window switches are all the same for passenger and back seats.

    When you say "light switch" do you mean for the headlamps, etc on the dash? The side view mirror adjustment switch doesn't light up does it? Local Ford dealer quoted me $104 for left power door lock switch and $96 for the right. Guess I'll check ebay. Anybody have part numbers for them?

    Yes head lamp switch - just found an LED replacement for it hasn't arrived so can not confirm if its correct or not.

    Side view mirror control doesn't light up - at least not from what I remember and I've had my car since new. can't remember for sure though

    lock switches are below - not sure which is which (left or right)

    I found a replacement LED bulb and holder..... It didn't work so now I mod the one that comes with the switch.

    I mentioned somewhere else but just found this thread. The LED T4 Neo Wedge tall fits the head lamp switch. It is 19mm tall, about 5 mm too short but bright enough it works.

    I also just noticed that when you switch the window lock to on, the passenger window switch lights turn off, been so long since I had those working I didn't even remember that. For a second I thought they all burned out as I didn't realize I switched the window lock on

    All are supposed to light up. The rear window switches will not be illuminated if the windows are locked since the lock cuts power to the rear switches.

    I can fix all of them if needed including the headlight switch light.

    Please remove the master switch trim/bezel properly! There's thousands of people suffering of flopping switches due to attempting to remove the controls from the wrong spot!

    Look for the notch towards the front of the bezel. Lift up the front of the bezel first. There is a tab at the rear that everyone breaks off.
