Default Stupid stock stereo question...

I just noticed as I was driving home tonight that the keys on my stock stereo don't have backlighting like the keys on the HVAC control. The window that shows the clock/channel works, but no lights on keys.

I've owned the car for 7 months and don't remember ever seeing the stereo keys lit.... Is this normal?

Was going to go to dealer for repair (still under warranty), but wanted to make sure this isn't some bizaar corvette quirk first...


See... told you it was a stupid question... you know, the one your instructors always told you didn't exist :o

Play with the little circle **** that adjusts the brightness of the dash lights. You will find that the radio lights "go out" while the dash lights are still on low.

Crank the **** up a little.
