Rear Hatch Switches

Hi All

2017 GLC300 4matic. Regarding the switches on the rear hatch (one for close one for close and lock), I noticed tonight that they don't light up. I believe they used to by quite honestly I don't remember, can anyone confirm?

About a couple of months sago they replaced the sunroof cover rails and best as I can tell they took the whole headliner down. Thinking perhaps they may have neglected to plug these back in (assuming I am corr4ect in remembering they are supposed to light up)

Thanks!

AJM

I just checked our "17 GLC and the switches you referenced DO NOT light up. They do however, light up on our :21 GLE.

During last service I had it looked at. Turns out the switch had a to be replaced. It was covered under extended warranty thankfully.
