Display Panel light will not turn off (Renault Megane) help!

[JOEYGREEN]

This morning I discovered my radio is not working anymore. Can't turn it on at all. But then tonight as I've locked the car up the display panel light remains on. I've gone back and checked on it an hour or so later and its still on! Tried everything to turn it off and know I'm going to have a flat battery tomorrow. Can anyone help, please?

Many thanks

Which Megane? and model?
Which display panel? Instruments or Centre panel?
Mk1
Mk1 Facelift (Phase2)
Mk2
Is the immobiliser on key blip working ok?
Try a battery discoonection .. leave for 10mins .. and reconnect. You need radio code before you disconnect.

It's a Renault Megane 2007 plate....don't really know what else, sorry to be so unhelpful. It's the display panel that shows the time/temperature/radio station etc. Everything else is working fine, apart from the radio is not coming on at all. Not really concerned about that just yet, more about this backlight that won't turn off.

Thank you by the way. Does this help you diagnose the problem at all or do you still suggest disconnecting battery? Thanks

I think I would try a battery disconnect and reconnect myself .. to see what happens. It will cure a few things on Renault.
You also need to check interior fuses.
This 'could' be a difficult problem to diagnose here.
Have a look/search through the forums here ...

Can you not remove the front of the radio?
