    Are the two power window swithces supposed to be lighted?

    Hello,
    I just got a CX-9 Touring for my wife, I was wondering if both of the power window switches on the driver side door are supposed to be lit. I only have the driver window switch lit.

    Thanks

    FYI, those LED's will go out if you enagage the window lock button. Try pushing the window lock button and see if it toggles the switch light. It should toggle the three switches that control the passenger windows. BTW the LED on the passenger switch on each door should also turn on and off.

    I was told the 2010 models don't have them lit up. Could someone confirm? Unless the dealership is lying to me....

    Yeah sounds like you have a broken set of switches. My 2010 GT lights all of them up on the driver's door and passenger's door. The dealership is wrong. AN easy way to confirm is to check them on a new CX-9. Maybe they have one in the showroom?

    Another 2010 GT owner, and all four of mine light up. Like a couple of others have stated, that if I press the window lockout switch, the other 3 buttons go out.

    2010 Touring AWD, only the one light is lit up.

    Reading this thread I see everyone with a GT saying they have them all lit up, and those of us with a Touring say only 1 is lit up.

    Maybe that's the differentiating factor? GT vs Touring?

    Anyone with a 2010 Grand Touring who can chime in?

    You're probably right LordJezo, this is probably a differentiator between Touring and GT. Petoria however implies that her GT does not light up. At least the GT she has listed in her sig

    On our 2010 GT:

    Driver's side door: driver's side window switch is lit. passenger's side windows switch does NOT look like it is capable of lighting up. It has the 3 nubs where it would light up, but they are not like the driver's side window switch.

    All other doors: window switch lights up and turn off when the window switch lock is engaged.

    Ok, here is a video. I have a 2010 Grand Touring with Navi, all four window switch buttons light up. When you push in the window lock button, 3 lights go out.

    Click the picture below. It's photobucket, so it takes a second to load. Also, it was kind of bright outside when I did this, but if you look closely, you will see the lights go on and off.

    For 2008 GT, the behaviour is the same as 2010.
    All buttons are lit whether headlights are on or off.
    When window lock is pressed, the non-driver-side ones go off.

    In short, the lights are there to tell users that the buttons are functioning when they are lit.
    Not sure about the Touring model.
