My F150 radio is a little dim on both the right and left side and my odometer backlight doesn't work. Sometimes the radio will dim to the point you can barely see the last numbers of the clock and first numbers of radio station and usually when that happens the odometer backlight will work then. I'm assuming both are a related issue and was wondering if anyone has an idea of what it could be. Appreciate the help, thanks!

This must not be a common problem. I've posted in 2 F150 forums also with no luck lol. Hopefully doesn't cost me an arm and a leg to take it somewhere lol.

Also I'll throw another question with this. I was thinking of putting Ford's nav radio in, will a 2008 F150 Nav radio be a direct fit or will I need to make some modifications? Obviously I won't be doing any sort of switch until I figure out the electrical issue I'm having.
