Just checked my 2012 SEL. The only switches that are illuminated are the four window up/down switches. The mirror adjustment switch and the window lock button are not. I'm pretty sure that should extend across all the models, and if I'm right, then yours appear to be the same as mine and are working properly.

Kenny, thanks for your input. As I mentioned in a post a few months ago, I replaced the tires on this car, and it completely transformed the car. It now rides and handles the way it ought to, and I'm very pleased with it. I've read that wide tires can cause a car to "hunt" over irregularities in the road, but resisted the thought that Ford had "baked in" this fault on such a mainstream car as the Fusion by putting wide tires on it. I never would have guessed that tires could cause such a pronounced effect (especially since they were all Michelins, evenly worn, and still had at least 1/3 of the tread left), but I guess I learned something. On a related note, since I solved this mystery, I am really quite happy with this car. It has the 1.5 Ecoboost, which makes plenty of power (especially in Sport mode!), and I like the way the transmission shifts, everything still works perfectly (after 6 years and 82k miles), and it looks good. This past weekend, on a trip home to Ann Arbor from Fort Wayne, IN, I reset the trip meter after I got on the highway, and it showed 40.8 mpg when I got home after 150 miles - and that was driving between 72 and 75 mph with the cruise control set and the A/C running. I was impressed!
