You are correct and I did say almost. When we picked up the wife’s Concorde while looking under the hood I realized I could not see the battery. I questioned the salesman ( a person I have known for years) as to where the battery was located, he went on to explain that the battery was placed there for safety reasons in that in the event of an accident and the windshield blew out and the battery exploded the front seat passengers would not be splashed with battery acid. I told him that sounded believable to maybe some of his customers, but why don’t you just tell them CC could not find any other place to put it. I have since convinced some of my gullible friends that a battery does not exist and CC developed a super computer chips that stores all of the required energy to start the car and once started does not need a battery.

Response:

Thanks to everyone for their 2 cents.  It’s hard to believe they don’t illuminate.  I agree with the "tacky tacky" comment.  My Ford Explorer has similar buttons and they are all illuminated on the steering wheel.  You’d think Chrysler would have included this little "nice-ity" on a car like the Concorde.  My wife will have to get used to the "intutive arrangement" I guess.  When I first drove the car at night, I glanced down and, being used to the Ford’s buttons, at first panicked thinking something had gone wrong. Minor detail I guess but I think they missed the boat on this one. Thanks again. RandyB

Neither are the switches on the 300M or LHS.  Tacky, tacky. — Delete either one of the 2’s from my address to reply Ciao,  Ray (Boomer) McNairy         "624" "So many fools, so few comets!"

Response:

    If they are anything like our ‘96 Voyager’s cruise control they will be intuitive and therefore after using them a few times in the day you should easily be able to use them at night without illumination (ours do not light up, but the on/off switch and indicator light do).

You are correct and I did say almost. When we picked up the wife’s Concorde while looking under the hood I realized I could not see the battery. I questioned the salesman ( a person I have known for years) as to where the battery was located, he went on to explain that the battery was placed there for safety reasons in that in the event of an accident and the windshield blew out and the battery exploded the front seat passengers would not be splashed with battery acid. I told him that sounded believable to maybe some of his customers, but why don’t you just tell them CC could not find any other place to put it. I have since convinced some of my gullible friends that a battery does not exist and CC developed a super computer chips that stores all of the required energy to start the car and once started does not need a battery.
