Gentlemen,

I have a question about the illumination of the power window switches and the power door lock switch on the driver-side: are yours lit any time the ignition is in the "ON" position, or they lit ONLY when the headlights are on? Does the intensity respond to the intensity control **** on the dash? Mine are on any time the key is "ON" and the brightness is contstant.

Here is why I ask: I had to disassemble the door to fix an annoying rattle. Those of you who have done this know that the switch module has two connectors--one for the lock/window switches, and one for the power mirror controls. Well, I accidentally plugged the smaller lock/switch cable into the larger power mirror socket (stupid mistake, especially since I am an electronics engineer!) The ignition was off at the time and all switches were in the open position, so I doubt that I did any damage--but I'm not sure about the lighting behavior.

 

What year is your SC? My 93 just lights up the door lock switch.

 

Yours are behaving normally. Thats how they are. They light up indicating that you can use your power windows, even a few seconds after you switch ignition. Kinda like, if they are on, you can use them. And no, they dont dim with the switch.
