My 95 Ranger don't light up, either does my friends 96 B4000 I think that feature was added later, but I'm not sure what model year.

My '99 XLT does not have lighted power window and lock controls! And it has all the options! You will learn which is which after you use it awhile.

My '03 Edge does not have lighted window or door lock controls. Does anyone know where these creatures can be found? Tx. D

I thought I remember Ken00 saying one of his Rangers came with lighted window/lock buttons. Maybe he was talking about his '00?

Im pretty sure that there are a few years/models of Rangers with the lighted buttons, I just can't remember which ones.
