Default 1989 Mustang 2.3 LX- Is there an idiot light for the cruise control?

All of my gauges seem to work great and my idiot lights around the bottom center work great but there is a panel on the bottom right that appears to have lights in it that never come on and I noticed that i don't have any light that indicates when the cruise control is on or active. Is that normal or do i have a few idiot lights not coming on?

My '87 and '88 fox bodies both had cruise control and neither had an idiot light for it, neither did my sister's '87 Taurus or my mom's '89 Aerostar, but a friend's '95 F150 and all newer Fords I've seen did have one, so my guess is it became standard in later years.

My 88 definetly does not have a light for cruise. It still works at least, but no light. My lower light panel does not work either but I have taken it apart in the past and none of the lights are for cruise, I forget what they all are now since this was some time ago but definetly no cruise.

If you ever remember what they are, PLEASE let me know, you can even just email it to me if you come up with it. Hell, that goes for anyone if they know for certain what the lights are. I have tried EVERYTHING to read them ad can't come up with it. I would think that when you cycle the key, they should come on but I guess they aren't supposed to in this car. Atl least not mine.

On the lower right side of the dash pod are lights for coolant level, and low fuel, and I believe low oil levels. Hopefully you will not be seeing these lights coming on for you :-)
