Title: Heated seat switches
Post by allante on Mar 18^th, 2004, 11:55pm

Are the heated seat switches supposed to be illuminated when the lights are on? I dont mean the green LED but the little picture. Mine arent but they were on my Mk3 and I even saved one out of my Mk3 which was a brand new one and that doesnt light up either

if it's any help.on mine they actually light up with the ignition (much like the electric seat memory module on the drivers door),though mine would of worked with the sidelights like the old granny,but as i have said,mine light up with the ignition on no. 2

Think ianmc might have meant the heated screen switch :)
further to my first post, i came home tonight and the new one i had put in was illuminated, didnt think it was before but then again tonight was the first time i had driven it in the dark since fitting it, so i guess the bulb is out on the other one. might have a trip to the scrappy since they seem to be the same as the granada, and as i recall, you cant get in them to successfully replace the bulb. why Fords dont put LED's in rather than bulbs i dont know, i replaced the bulbs in a Mk3's window switches with green LED's and they were fine (you have to add a resistor though..a very tiny one!) last a lot longer than bulbs.
