Default OEM Navi (Hard Drive) Lighting Question

Hey Guys -

Scooped up a 98 GS 400 with OEM Navi. The problem that I am facing is that the buttons surrounding the OEM Navi are not lighting up. The buttons such as climate, map/guide, destination, etc. (NONE of them). The screen works, everything functions but none of the lights surrounding the unit are working. Anyone have any ideas on where to start looking? I'd had to tear this thing apart only to find out that this is common and it's a fuse or some option available to turn off the lighting.

Not sure if it matters but the car is running OEM Navi with aftermarket head unit (Alpine).. Everything is working properly other than the lighting on the button.


Any insight is greatly appreciated - it's hugely annoying to turn on the overhead lights to switch views/screens at night!

Thanks,
J
