I have a 94 U300....the rocker switch panel to the left of the main instrument panel..........the panel that has the boost, icc, docking lights, fan, retarder, fog lights switch etc.

When a switch is turned on there is a red light on the switch....my question is at one point for a few seconds after first buying the coach, the actual rocker switch descriptors under each rocker switch, i.e boost, were lit, if I remember in blue.  Is that correct, and if so, does anyone know how to fix, hate having to turn on the overhead light to identify a switch in the dark.

There are small bulbs you can replace,

Kind of a related question...On my 97 U270 there is a rocker switch on the left side of the dash for the "Heated Mirror" selection for the Ramco Mirrors.  Is this switch supposed to light when "ON"?  Mine never has and since I never have had the need to melt ice from the mirrors, I don't know if they work...too lazy to test with a meter at this point.

Thanks Barry..........

Referring to the description of each rocker switch being illuminated, letters below the switch i.e. boost,  not the red light that is illuminated when the rocker switch is in the "on" position.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Safe travels this Holiday Season!

I have light blue lighting of the rocker switch descriptors on my 93, U300 when the parking light or headlight switch is activated. I don't know where it would be but if none of your blue lights are working, there is probably a fuse or electrical connector that is not making contact. 

Just replaced 10 bulbs Napa Auto Wagner #17037 bulbs fit, Foretravel parts dept told me the number. Most all the switches are lite up when ignition is turned on, but when the switch is pushed the bulb goes into deeper in  the cavity of the switch and it gets brighter, Other switches like Jake ON/Off and Jake Hi/Lo only come on when depressed.
