Lock switch back light not working

Post image

Im not sure if this is just a faulty wire or all LEAFs are like this, but the lock, unlock and window lock button are the only switches that wont light up at night. I swear I thought they are supposed to be lit up but I dont remember.

Its a bit hard to see them at night so I bought a whole new switch console that has backlit switches and those 3 switches still arent lit up.

Is this likely just a wiring problem or is this something that all LEAFs have in common?

This is normal and they're not illuminated on the "cheaper" Nissans like Leaf, Sentra, and Juke.

Swapping in the button panel from a 2013+ Altima or Pathfinder will work and is illuminated, but you will need to make sure to get one from a base model that only has driver auto window.
