The switch is illuminated. I only found out because the girlfriend noticed mine flickering. I had never seen it before. It never stays on though. Just flickers every now and then. I thought it was a loose connection but it does it even when the car is stationary with the engine off.
It's another thing on the to do list. I might try a new switch.

I used the window switch repair instructions at http://www.20v.org to repair mine...

Peter is right. The original resistors are only 300 ohm. Way too small. I replaced them with 1k ohm ones.-Comment
