Hello All,
I just purchased a 2018 Ram 1500 to replace my 1998 Ram 1500. Love the truck, but have a question to throw out there for you all. I noticed that the side mirror controller panel on the driver's side door is not backlighted, so I have to feel around for it to fold my mirrors at night.
I could not find anything in the manual to tell me if it is supposed to be lit, so I wanted to ask the forum if that is normal, or perhaps I have a bad controller panel?

On another unrelated matter, it seems like the Parksense beeping tones are intermittant. They do not seem to always come on when parking close to objects, even though the indicator bars on the instrument display show proximity to the object. Again, is this normal?

Thanks!

The mirror switch control panel doesn't light up, can't help you with the park sense question.

Thanks... Odd that they didn't backlight it since everything else is lit!

I've also noticed the park sensors don't always beep on my 18 Sport, almost got hit because of it.
