My cruise lights wont light up, the cruise works, but now lights. Checked all fuses, any tips to figure this out?

 

edit:

Just dawned on me.... are you talking about the light on the dash, or the lights on the buttons on the steering wheel?

Lights on the buttons.

 

Clock spring assembly.
There are two seperate contact sets for the lamps. One before and one after the lamps. This is the only way they get power too and thru the lamps back to ground.
The cruise clock springs are seperate.

 

Talked to my dealer, says he does not think this is the problem. Any other suggestions, or is this for sure what it is? Dont want to spend $105 for nothing.

 

The dealer is entitled to his opinions too, but did they offer up any other suggestions?

At the very least, I'd pull the steering wheel and check for continuity through the switches to make sure they aren't burnt open.

I'm not sure as I never had a lighting problem like this but some items like this have the lite built in and have to replace the unit, to get lighting back.
Ya it's not a problem in daylite but at nite you have to be a blind reader to find them without taking you eyes off the road.
None of my cars or trucks have these buttons lighted.

 

I'm with GIJoe on this one.

Clockspring assembly.

Do a Seach on the subject-replacing it cures all kinds of problems. You can DIY, which will save major $$ over having the dealer do it.

 

I know this is off the subject a bit, but is there a cruise indicator light on the dash when the cruise is activated? I have a 99 Expy and when in cruise there is no indicator light on the dash, is there supposed to be? I had an 02 F150 FX4 and I think that one did. The guage clusters seem to be the same. Thanks for any info.
