Re: steering wheel control illumination

Both sides should light up. The only way to repair this is to replace the controls.
The instrument cluster and panel lighting system provides dimmable backlighting to the following components:

audio unit
climate control assembly
auxiliary climate control (front and rear)
instrument cluster
steering wheel switches
headlamp switch
reversing parking aid switch
adjustable pedal switch
electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) mode select switch (MSS)
heated back window switch
message center

Carefully pop them out and replace. Be careful though.

Re: steering wheel control illumination

You need to remove the air bag and steering wheel on some vehicles to replace the switches.

Re: steering wheel control illumination

If you have to mess with the airbag, make sure your life insurance is paid up...or take it to someone that knows exactly the correct way to deal with it. I would venture to say that without factory training that you would be wise to leave it alone. JMHO.

Re: steering wheel control illumination

Looks like you have an '04. Sounds like Fords problem to me under warranty.
