Most likely you have some corrosion damage either on the logic board display connector
Or within the displays connection (very difficult to get to)
Follow this guide to at least checkout your logic board connection MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Early 2013 Display Assembly Replacement Follow Steps 1 through 4 to disconnect the battery, then jump down to Step 11. How does the contacts and solder joints look? Post some clear pics if you’ve not sure Adding images to an existing question.

Hey Dan I have done extensive checking for corrosion and there is none as for the other connector it’s all secure and no problems there
@peach production - Plug in an external monitor with either the HDMI or Thunderbolt ports. Is that display working without a problem?

This series came in two configs with and without a discreet GPU, AMD GPU (DG) vs intergraded Intel graphics engine only (IG)
IG Models: MacBookPro11,2
DG Models: MacBookPro11,3
So lets not get lost on the different graphics this series offers as that doesn't involve the backlight.
