You do not need to connect the illumination to anything. Also don't hook up the dome light wire. This is assuming your talking about on the stereo harness. Fords have the illumination wire to work with the headlights and an aftermarket radio doesn't need it. It's been many years since I've seen an aftermarket radio with an illumination wire, even then you don't need ito hook it up. So just tape those other two off and your problem should be fixed.

BTW check your cars fuses there may be a couple blown.
