I have just purchased a 2003 F150 Supercrew and was showing it off to another Ford Truck Driver. He Owns a 1997 F150XLT and is wondering if there is and chance his truck has the light up indicators for the cruise control buttons on the wheel like my current truck. Everything looks identical but he bought the truck used is not sure if it was an option or could be added for convienance. Thanks to any who help.

 

Either the LED's are burned out or they aren't getting power from the headlight switch. Every 97 I've been in has had the light up buttons.

 

I have a 97 F-150 4.2L and I don't have lighted buttons for cruise control. Don't really need them though. It's either on or off.

 

Some of the older trucks did not have light up buttons.

 

Maybe the bulbs (are they LEDS?) are burned out. I have a burned out one and cannot find it ANYWHERE yet! Anyone have some ideas on where to get these things?

 

My used truck was so dirty that I didn't know they lit up. After a trip to the detailers they lighted up just fine!

 

my 97 xlt supercab never had any light for the cruise positions altho i have wished they were there. Only the braille type bumps on the switches. If your 97 has the raised points on the steering wheel switch, i'd say it most likely did not come with the lights.

 

My 97' Lariat cruise controls have the raised braille bumps and lighted cruise control text as well. My buddy's 01' XLT has the illuminated cruise control buttons but his don't have the braille bumps.

 

My 1997 XLT supercab 4X4 DOES have the light up button for CC. I like them a lot! I do not have the "braille bumps"
