'88 Silverado window switches

[NMNorsse]

Are they supposed to be illuminated? Neither the driver or passenger switches are back-lit. Is that how they are or should I figuring out why not

I think the 88 uses the same window switch as my 1990 Silverado and no they are not lit.

88-89 are one style (black plastic square corners), 90-94 are another (gray plastic rounded corners), but neither are backlit.

Something else that was "improved" with the new style interior in '95.... So far as that goes, several of them on my trucks don't light up anymore.
As long as the driver's one does, the others you can feel on the door. I guess they have teeny tiny bulbs in them? My priority is that the switch works....

Yep, IIRC it's one of those small twist-in sockets similar to the ones in the A/C controls, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Been a while since I had one of those 95-up switches apart, trying like hell to get the driver window switch reliable on that LS-swapped '97 Suburban I had for a while. What a junkwagon.

For what it's worth, my girl's 1990 K2500 door switches do not light up. There is a company called Digital Dash Solutions, that I used for a custom dash cluster on my 2005 Tahoe Z71, that supplied me with a transmission temp gauge and different color lighting and needles. They may make something like a lighted master window switch for the trucks or know of a quality company that does.

Thanks everyone! Good to know they are working the way they should.
