Default The radio LCD and radio work, but there's no backlight

(2008 LR2), The radio and LCD screen work normally but the whole radio screen or buttons don't light up at night when I turn the light switch on. Does anyone know if there's a fuse or a light bulb that can be replaced to make it light up again?

Only backlight is on the radio console. It lights up when you turn on the radio.

It doesn't light up when I turn on the radio. Maybe there's a dimmer switch for the radio light somewhere.

Yes, there is a dimmer wheel on the panel. I think it's on the lower left side.

I am having the same problem! Did you ever find a way to fix it? I literally can not find anything online and when I called a Land Rover dealership they told me it would be thousands of dollars to fix!!

No, I never got it fixed. My motorcycle had the same problem and it turned out to be a small burned out light bulb that I replaced easily. I'm thinking the radio has the same setup but have never pursued trying to fix it. The radio might have to be removed to get to the light bulb.
