Default cruize controll

I have an '87 coupe and when I use my cruize I dont have a light come on anywhere on the dash. Is that how its suposed to be? Or do I have a bulb out some where?

Thanks
Steve

No light. That always bugged me too.

Just like no light or indicator of any kind to show where your headlamp and fog lamp switches are in the dark, or if the fog lamps are on.

The gas pedal moving on its own is a good indicator.

How do you look at the gas pedal while driving? Isn't that a bit dangerous?

Default No light from factory.

Just a thought. It seems that it would be easy to fabricate a small light which can usually be purchased at any good parts store. One about the size of a pencil eraser. Wiring it to the electrical portion of the cruise control switch to light when switched on and go off when disengaged. Seems like a good idea. One that I may look into.
