What's wrong

The problem

THE INDICATOR FOR THE INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED.

The risk

THE INDICATOR CONTROL DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 101,"CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS". THE CONTROL WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO LOCATE DURING NIGHT OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE.

What to do

The fix

INSTALL AN ILLUMINATION FEATURE ON THE WIPER INTERMITTENT CONTROL.

SYSTEM: INTERIOR SYSTEMS; FMVSS 101.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY CLASS 8 TRUCKS.
