    18 button computer time/date window back light always on

    Just picked up this 1994 325i convertible.
    The redish backlight for the time/date display on the 18 button computer is always on, even with car off, doors locked.
    Can anybody help me diagnose this issue?

    Thanks
    Fred

    94's didn't come with 18-button? right?. If someone added it then they must have wired it wrong.

    I pulled up the vin decoder and this shows I have a :
    S554A On-board computer V with remote control.

    While I'm at it, there is an option code:
    S925A Dummy SALAPA.
    What is a salapa?
