heh, yeah, seems kind of dumb, doesn't it? The Rangers don't have light up switches for some reason. I was dissappointed with mine when I bought it, since my stepdad's 98 Explorer has buttons that light up. Not sure what it would take to put some lighted switches in there, but it would sure be nice.

I agree. The power window buttons should be lit in all the Rangers that come equipped with them. If Ford can make it that way in my old '93 Sable than they certainly could have done it in our Rangers. IMHO, Ford dropped the ball on that one, plain and simple.

P.S. I believe I read somewhere that the new Rangers ('03 and/or '04?) are now coming with the lighted buttons, but I don't know for sure.

You are correct Joe, Christina's 02 has the CC buttons lighted.

Ken, do you know if it's possible to swap the lighted-button setup from the '02 into what we have now?

Would the fit and the wiring connections be the same?

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner Joe, The switches are exactly the same but I don't know if the wire is there or whats involved in getting the switches off with the air bag there.
