Might be a silly or obvious question but:  I have a 2011 astra - it has the lock and unlock button above the CD.
My question - are these buttons meant to be illuminated when activated?  I have it lock automatically when driving off and hear the clunk but nothing on the buttons.

They should only be on when the lights are on.

Thanks Rusty, just thought it odd that they they do not come on whenever.  At least I can stop pulling my hair out (what's left anyway).

Just got this Astra after the last one was written off by a woman who did not like stooping at a roundabout  Thud

Finding the bit's and pieces on the replacement is fun but this forum sure helps - glad I found it.

Is their brightness supposed to be controlled through the wheel thingie next to the lights switch?

Just checked and the buttons are backlit when the ignition is on but I would have thought the "lock" was prominent if activated so you could see at a glance.
