R53- low tire reset button - does it illuminate?

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this question-
I recently added an armrest / e-brake console combo to my 04 MCS. The swap went very well. However, I just noticed that the tire pressure reset button below the handbrake is not lit.
Forgive my stupidity, but I could have sworn this button illuminates when the headlights/dash lights are on. I already checked the fuses. Before I go disassembling the armrest (PIA),at the risk of breaking any clips, I thought I'd ask here. Does this reset button illuminate? Such a noob question, but I just can't remember.

D***it! - I knew it
Out of curiosity / begrudgingly, I went out and popped the switch plate (didn't have to remove the console), and it appeared to have not been connected.
Now connected....but still not illuminated.
Thanks for taking the time to confirm @MCS4FUN. I had a feeling it illuminated before R&R.

AHHH! - Never mind. It's lit!!!!
Just when I thought I was going to have to wedge my head down in that footwell again to re-check fuses....
The Universe and I are all good again.
