1997 bmw 318ti hatch issues...

[bataanboy]

Hello,
I'm new to this forum. So, please bare with me. I just bought my 318ti and I noticed that at night the dash (a/c control, hot/cold and vent knob) doens't have lights. This is located at the bottom of the stereo. I'm wondering if it's really doesn't have light or the bulb has been blown?

My other issue is both my back up light are out. Replaced both bulb but still the same issue. This weekend I will try and check the fuse. Any other ideas? Someone told me to check or replace the switch. Where is it located?

Please help, thanks.
