the computer should be illuminated.and there are lots of threads on this ...it depends on whether its 6 or 13 button as to how complicated this is to fix

13 button OBC has a lamp in the back of the same type as the warning lights in the instrument cluster. Difficult to get at though.
Gear selector lamp is obvious if you lift up the panel with the brush in it. Wires to the lamp frequently break.
