Lighted Steering Wheel

Am I just imagining things, or aren't the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel supposed to light up like the radio controls? I looked down last night and thought it looked differnt, and the "cancel" and "set" "resume" buttons were black. Now I have had my car for almost two years and can't remember how it was a week ago! So I know I am loosing my mind, but do I need to get a bit of warrantee work done on the wheel?

Thanks

the bulbs behind it are burned out. i would see if acura can replace it first though. cuz it would be a lot of work to get back there to replace them yourself.

could it be a fuse for the cruise control? Does the dash still light up if the buttons are used?

Your bulb is burned out. I just went out and checked and it lit up. Should be under warranty.

Thanks everyone, I thought I remembered them working in the past! Yeah, all the functions still work on the CC and the radio lights (and the master cruise button) still work.

Off to the dealer!

The warranty will cover it. I had a bulb replaced on my heated seat switch at no cost.

Yes, and they are good finger warmers in the winter.

All the buttons should light up on your steering wheel. Even the cancel HFL button. My volume buttons have burned out & i am waiting to change my oil , so the dealer can take care of the burned out bulbs.

Here is a link I started to find out exactly what buttons light up on the steering wheel: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121240
