Can is a network data protocol voltage is 2v or less. The 05 does have can but limited functionality. CAN is for data transfer only it is not meant to supply power to anything.

Did you look at the plug pin out so that you got the signal
from the lamp dimmer? What year of head unit did you go to?
You may have to get an adaptor.
IF the 05 has not changed and it is the same as the 06
then you have on pin #3 LB/RD wire that is the instrument illumination feed

I wished I could give you more.

yes , the pin 3 is present ,
the new radio is 06/07 .
I plugged it in a 2007 Fusion ad the lights work when I plugged the 16 pin connector - (can bus)
My truck doesn't have the 16 pin harness .
