Is the 4HI Button Always Lit Up?

Hi Indy,

Actually as one of the other members pointed; I think it's a feature common in newer 'foriegn' cars. I'm coming from Toyota's and the 3 that I've owen - Sienna, Yaris & Prius - all had an Icon that lit up on the Dash which tells if the Headlamps are On. Coming from these 3 vehicles, I think I was sort of automatically looking for it.

However, objectively looking at it, I understand now it's niether important nor necassary. The position of the Switch in itself is telling of whether the Headlamps are On or not. Plus the instrument cluster lighting up is also a good indication - so essentially I'm good on this.

There are a couple other issues that I'm running into; it being a 2003 with over 100K miles on it ... but I think I should start another thread about it.

But let me shoot one here ...

I don't think the heated seats are working. When I click either of the 2 buttons on the side (The Horizontal OR the Vertical), the light flashes for a second but goes -- doesn't stay On. The lights that are within the Buttons. This is happening on both sides (Driver & Passenger). I don't know if it's just the buttons or if the entire 'Heating' feature is not working. If I'm not mistaken - when you press the button (either), the Light should come on and the progressive lights should indicate the Level of heat turned on, correct?

However, in my case, the light turns On and immideately turns Off and doesn't stay On. Am I missing anything? Or is this something for the Shop?

Thanks Guys!!
