    Currently having the hardest time of my life trying to figure out what’s wrong. When my headlights are on, my accessory buttons should be backlit, however, I am not seeing any light at all. My dimmer is turned all the way up but to no avail, still no backlights on my buttons. Any ideas? Pics to show the headlights on and no backlight. This is like this with all my buttons, even below the radio. They still work. Just no backlight.

    Check the 5A fuse labeled "PANEL" (lower right corner of image).

    If you press the switch on, does the green light turn on?

    Fuse labelled PANEL, verify if it did its job.

    yes the buttons work but not the backlight. Probably shouldn’t have posted the inverter. Here’s another picture. As you can see, the green light comes on showing that it’s on but no blue backlight.

    Fused labeled "PANEL" is the safety to the PANEL illumination...
