Abstract (en)

[origin: DE4414981A1] The invention is based on a control module for motor vehicle switches which comprises a plurality of illuminated windows for displaying the functional state of the module and for finding the module when the vehicle interior is in darkness. The object of the invention is to provide this module with as few components as possible and configure it such that it can be easily assembled. The object is achieved in that a light guide for illuminating at least one window is provided and can simultaneously be used for accommodating at least one incandescent lamp. Advantageous developments are concerned with keeping streams of light emerging from an incandescent lamp held in the light guide remote from the light guide itself and from an illuminated window in dependence on the function of a push-button.
