should rear power window switches light up?

[gottavycalais]

Hi all, got a vy calais and was wondering if the rear power window switches on the doors should light up? mine don't! do they have globes in them?

[guyman]

only the left rear door lights up on my vy s, so yes they do light up but dont seem to work very well lol

[Banks]

yeah they light up n theres LEDs in them, contact phreddy, he might be able to help you guys out

in my vn i know the rear doors dont light up if the child lock is on. maybe its the same in the vy? or else you could have a bad connection on the switches - door or centre console

[Phreddy]

From the factory they have globes in them, I do install LEDs when I'm doing colour conversions.

Note that the back door switches WON'T light up when the "kiddie lock" is activated, but when it isn't they certainly should - as Stocky pointed out above. (and yes that does carry through to the VY/VZ) Most likely blown globe(s), but don't try to get them from Holden - they want to sell you the complete switch....

[guyman]

just checked the child lock and it was off so my globe must be blown, how annoying! i really dont want to spend the money to get it fix, think ill just leave it, not a big deal anyway. If i was to try to fix it myself is it just a matter of removing door trim and getting to the globe to replace it? is it a fiderly job?

[Phreddy]

Heh - it actually involves pulling the switch apart after you get it out of the trim. It's fiddly to say the least!

so is it easy to replace the globes? can anyone tell me how please?
