Hi all, as a new owner of a 2013 Fiat 500L Lounge 1.3 Multijet , I am seeking a little advice please. I have only had the car a few days and noticed the ignition switch seems to wobble, so it is going back to the garage for them to look at, as am not sure if it should. Also I drove the car for the first time in the dark last night and while most switches and buttons illuminate, the light and wiper stalks do not, which makes it a little awkward to see where they are set. Can any owners advise if the stalks should illuminate or not, as if they should, I will et the garage to check it out at the same time.

I’ve got the exact same car an mines don’t light up.
 
Why would you need to see where the stalks are set?

Should be able to do wiper by feels alone there q firm click normally between each setting
Just getting accustomed to a different car and on my last one they illuminated. It was just at night I wasn't sure where the rear wash/wiper switch, or the front and rear fogs.
 
Regarding the wobbling ignition switch, I took the car back to the garage this morning and they dropped the lower shroud off and found the screws had come loose. Tightened up and all good, so if anyone else has the issue, it seems to have been an easy fix.

Having investigated..
Neither my 500..or Pandas Switchgear illuminate.. Older Fiat's certainly did
