Is there any way to illuminate the steering wheel CruiseControl buttons on my 2004 WJ
I have seriously lost most feeling in my finger tips, and without backlighting it is extremely difficult to use Cruise Control at night.
Does anyone sell a lighted switch kit, or has anyone here gotten creative and done this themselves?
Could use some help.
Thanks,

Old fart with a wrench
It would require adding circuits to the clock spring, like maybe one from a later model that has radio and disc player controls on it. Then you'll have to figure out how to backlight the buttons. I myself would like to have a heated steering wheel!
WAIT! My wife's Caravan had lighted cruise buttons. 97 I think it was.

Really can't see how this is lighted but......
Also I looked up the part number on a Mopar site and it looks like that would be correct for a '97 Grand Caravan.

Was hoping someone already made a kit, surprised that it didn't come backlit from factory.
I've got a buddy that is good at this type of stuff.
Will let you know if we come up with something.
