Ford Edge 2020 radio knobs and buttons do not illuminate during the day on Ford Edge

Some Ford Edge 2020 owners report experiencing issues with the radio knobs and buttons not illuminating during the day. This problem may stem from various causes, including malfunctioning backlighting due to wiring problems, blown fuses, or issues with the radio itself. Owners are advised to check the fuse box for any isolated fuses related to the backlighting. If the issue persists, it may be necessary to investigate loose or corroded wiring, outdated radio components, or overheating of the radio unit. Additionally, problems with the antenna's wiring can affect AM or FM reception, impacting overall radio functionality. Conducting a diagnostic test, such as 'Pinpoint Test J' from the Edge Workshop Manual, may help identify specific faults related to the Audio Control Panel. In some cases, resetting the radio system by disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes can resolve certain issues. If the illumination problem continues after these steps, consulting a professional technician or visiting a Ford dealership is recommended for further assistance.
