Is the engine start/stop button suppose to be backlit? :confused:
Mine isn't and I suspect that's a fault.:(

Since it is a piece of plastic that just pops out, so you can put the key fob in there like a standard key, I doubt it.

Not supposed to be backlit.

Thanks for the feedback. It just seems odd that it's not visible. My previous Jeep with key igniton had a ring of light and my Audi with push button is also lit.
It's minor but seeing that they even backlit the front side pockets, door release handles, etc., I just expected it.

Their buttons are permanently mounted. The Jeep's is removable. Kinda hard to backlight a removable button. All it is is an insert, really.

So, I'm looking through the GC's brochure this morning and low and behold there is a photo of an Overland's interior showing that the start/stop button is backlit.

If you do have the brochure, it's the page featuring a photo of a White Gold Overland in the woods and above that, a photo of the interior. In that photo you can clearly see a backlit start/stop button.

The question now is, why are so many not functioning? Could this have been on pre-production vehicles and not gone to production?
I'll have to drop by the dealer and ask with a brochure in hand to show them.

Yup. And I've been looking at this same setup for well... years now and I haven't seen a backlit start button in a Chrysler for since... ever.

Its probably a pre production, just like the wood shifter knob, the power folding mirrors, etc.. Mines not backlit either.
