Default no radio lights

hey, i just noticed as i was driving today that my radio lights arent working, the time and stuff in the lense and all the lights for the heat and ac are working, but none of the buttons on the radio are lit up, could this be a loose plug or something, thank you

No idea other then move the "wheel" thing next to your headlights button to adjust it and see if it improves.

Does the radio even have lights? I cant see anything on mine at night either. But also didn't see where their were any lights.

This may be a dumb question, but did you try the interior dimmer switch?

My radio buttons light up when the exterior lights are on. See the white letters/numbers on the buttons? They should light up.

Of course the on/off/volume control does not have any lettering on it, so it doesn't have any illumination.

Hmmmm. Mine don't. I either have the same problem or theirs a difference between a shaker 500/1000? All other lights in the car work and the dimmer switch isn't the problem.

Could also be a my color thing? I'm upgrading that tomorrow so will know if that option makes a difference.

Mine never have. But if they should I want them to hahhahahaa. Maybe it's a difference between the shaker 500/1000 systems. Kinda sucks. I can never see the radio at night.

No kidding. I had always assumed the radio had no lights. Now I want mine to work. It's not a dimmer problem. If it were a fuse the radio itself wouldn't work. What else could it be?
