    Steering wheel controls not lit?

    My wife's 2015 SV's steering wheel controls on LEFT side are not lit (only) right...is this normal? If not, is it just a simple fuse change? If so, which one please? Well, just called her (on Bluetooth)...now she's saying they're lit, but not as much as right side?? Is there a brightness control, or can I be dealing with faulty wiring here? Anybody run into this before? Thank you.

    this isnt helpful...but you should have got an S...not even a passenger vanity mirror!!
    2015 Micra S (manual)
    no A/C /no power options/ block heater/4x 2 Ohm speakers...all factory stock in 2015
    Feb 2015 build
    9,999 purchase price + tax..no additional 1600$ because it was a 2015 purchased in 2016
    so receipt says $8,399....+1600 .... so they look good i guess...for a brand new car!

    This is not normal. both sides should be lit equally and there is no dimmer for steering wheel illumination. I don't know how to fix it, but I just know as an SV owner, its not normal. Its also not likely a fuse. A fuse either works or it doesn't. My guess would be a bad connection or a wire thats shorting out somewhere.

    Had the same problem with the steering wheel lighs, caused by a bad clock spring

    Ok, thanks. Just looked up some videos on it...not exactly the simplest thing to do. Will think about it...just a nuisance really.

    My 2015 SV also went, twice. They replaced the clock spring twice (although the first time I dont believe it was actually done due to a very well known shoddy nissan dealer) even though there was no reason for it to go twice in 4 weeks. (again why I believe the first time it was never done, only tinkered with)

    *under warranty until May 2019

    You could just go to the dealership, this must still be under warranty if it's a 2016, no?
