Dash button label backlighting

I thought I saw (but cannot find now) where the labels above the dash buttons are supposed to have backlighting. Definitely did not have that when we went out this evening. Am I off base? If they are supposed to be lit, have others had this issue?

You figure this out? I have the same issue with the row of buttons on the left. All of the labels on the right are lit up but not the left.

Mine is the exact opposite. Left bank lights up but right bank is dark.

There is another thread on this somewhere in this forum. It will give A7 something to find today. It even has pictures. We love pictures.

IKR. Although we use ours quite a bit.... no garage/driveway boating for us.

Finally got some time to work on it this week. Adding Blue sea switch too.

I think it's on the new series boat dashes with the little round switches.
Actually I'm just glad I don't have to let my boat sit outside. It's so much work to keep up on that gel. She's looking good man

So true. Iām envious of your boat garage. Hate having her outside. Thankfully the 3M products make quick work of the oxidation.

My question is on the new style round buttons. The button lights up when used but the dash labels above do not light up on the left side buttons. I noticed some sort of controller under the dash that looks like it runs these. Anyone know if these little controllers go bad?

Apologies I haven't responded - my dealer is going to look at it when I take the boat in for service this fall.

Similar issues as others.
At first, I had no backlighting on either side.
Then, they both worked.
Now, only the left panel is backlit.
