Dash console lights gone out G300

Can anyone help me figure out where the bulb that illuminates the console (not the instrument cluster) is? Individual buttons seems fine but the whole area is dark. Looks like something went out. I’ve checked the fuse and they’re okay.

RE: Dash console lights gone out G300

If I am understanding you correctly, the only other lights are in the center of the fan switch (pull the knob off to see it), and one or two that are light up the HVAC sliders.

Re: Dash console lights gone out G300

Thanks..
I tried this. I saw the bulb in the center of the fan bit that was for lighting up just the switch. I can't seem to identifiy where the ones up the HVAC sliders are. Since the whole console suddenly went 'dark' I suspect there must be a single bulb responsible.

RE: Dash console lights gone out G300

I see this is an old post, and not sure if OP resolved.....the lighting in the sliders is fed via fibre optic lines from one or two of the bulbs. Here is a photo showing what the back looks like.  I think there are 3 or 4 regular dash bulbs fitted.

Re: Dash console lights gone out G300

On my old G320, the dash was lit like a Christmas tree. But my G500 the sliders and at least one of the knobs have no light, I think it is only the AC vent flap switch in that section that is lit up.

Here is how it looks with the lights correctly working on my G320. On my other 463, it is not lit as well.
