What could cause the radio to no longer work along w/ a part of the A/C controls

What is your question?

I have a 2000 Toyota Tacoma Pre Runner and seem to be having some issues with the center radio console and buttons. I'm not sure when it actually occurred but as I don't drive it often, but the radio console and the lighting for part of the thermal controls are dead. I have checked all the fuses and they seem to be in good condition. The A/C switches still work but have no backlighting on some of the switches. and the radio is completed dead. I did not notice any damaged fuses while checking and am not aware of there is one behind the radio. Please advise if there is something else I am missing. thank you.

How long has your 2000 Toyota Tacoma had this problem?

a few months
