Hi all. I bought a 2005 XKR with over 140,000 miles on it. Some of the instrument and control lights/backlights were burned out when I got it, and I had them replaced. However, I'm not sure if the following items have backlights (they aren't illuminated on my car) - if anyone can confirm on their car please let me know if these are supposed to be backlit so I can get them fixed: 1) Passenger door window up/down switch (the switches on my drivers side door are illuminated, but not the passenger door one), 2) the round trip computer switchpack above the fuel/water gauge, and 3) any of the various buttons on the steering wheel. I tried to figure it out by reading the handbook and technical manuals and searching the forum, but couldn't. Thanks for your help.

 

Passenger door switches are illuminated. The trip and steering wheel buttons are not.

 

Thanks for the reply. Followup question for my 2005 XKR: Do the "ASL" and "S" buttons on the gear shifter bezel have backlights too? Not talking about the tiny red light at the top of the button that comes on when they're turned on, but rather lighting up the "ASL" and "S" on the buttons, similar to this XJR link: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...klight-138268/ .

 

No, just the red light.
