1999 Ranger Electrical Issues

I have a 99 Super Cab 4x4, 4.0, XLT. The radio has terrible static and the back lighting of the climate control goes off and comes on at different intervals. Any one have any experience with this sort of problem? Are the two issues related?

Static is probably the antenna lead had rusted off or come loose at either the back of the radio or sometimes there is a connection behind the dash.

Climate control back lighting, I would think a bulb or a connection on the back of the control panel if it was the whole panel going out at once.

Both easy to tinker with and figure out!!!
