Factory Radio Help

I recently put the factory radio out of my 1999 Mercury Mystique in our 1991 F-250. It works perfectly but the buttons don't light up when the headlights are turned on. The display dims and I can control the how much it lights up. It worked fine in the car. Is it an electrical problem or is the radio not fully compatible in the truck?

If you can, pull both radios out and look at the grey harness. It mayhave the illumination wire in another spot on the harness. Or more than one illuminqtion wire.
