Switch / Button backlighting

does anyone know if the "window lock" button/switch has backlighting like the rest of the door switches?

btw, just read something about the older trucks that when the windows are "locked" the associated window buttons are not illuminated. wondering if the 6.7 has a similar feature such that when the windows are unlocked, they are lit, and when they are they are unlit and the window lock switch is lit. my truck is not here at the moment otherwise id go investigate. anyone care to check? thanks in advance, you guys are awesome - as always.

When windows are unlocked all window lights are on. When the windows are locked, the driver side windows are lit, the rest of the truck are not. Door locks stay lit all the time as far as I know.

My window lock switch is not lit in either position. 2011 Job 1. Don't think anything has changed here though.

To be honest I thought mine lit up too. I know you had a different model, but I haven't heard anyone mention a change on these switches, but maybe?

2011 Job 2 - no backlight on window lock switch.

I find it to be completely stupid as well.

Damn them sometimes. But maybe a reason for it. But at least its not a fault. Thats a relief.

Manufacture date of April 2010, obvious job 1. Window lock 'off' all window buttons are lit up, window lock 'on' only the window switches on the drivers door are lit up. Door lock switches are lit up whether the doors are locked or un-locked.
