on the 5 switch bezel - do any of the switches illuminate ?? as mine dont & its a nightmare at night.

They should, pry the switches out carefully from the top and bottom, there should be two wires on the sides of the switches

But not when they are off if that's what you mean.

This is correct, they do not illuminate when the switch is off(like a modern car would with headlights on)

when they are switched on ... they are not lit up.. the previous owner, was fixing her up as a project but gave up. im wondering if hes messed things up behind there :-(

The two loose wires should connect to the side of the switch like this:
