Pretty simple question: does the radio on a 2007 Ford Explorer have a backlight for the buttons? I recently purchased this SUV, which I really like, and got Sirius factory-installed about a week after I bought the car. Since then, I’ve noticed that the radio buttons don’t have a backlight. However, I don’t remember if they used to light up before I got the satellite radio installed. Is this something that needs to be fixed? Thanks!
