SIGH! pant pant pant, snooze.

as you already know its not the original radio i would suggest it may well not be the correct model radio for the vehicle, check in your car manual for the radio type you should have in your vehicle

It's not a fuse , the SJB - smart junction box controls these lights ! This is fords body control module . If the Heater / A/C control panel ,hazard switch ,headlamp switch , message center switch all work, it is not a fuse . The gear shifter I would say the bulb is burnt out . The steering wheel lights could be out because of an open in the clock spring . The clock spring is a device inside the steering column under the steering wheel that keeps your horn , cruise control , radio buttons etc... connected electrically . How cars clock spring works

Check the fuse(s), it could have been tripped. Also could be a short (a common place is in the cigarette lighter). As for the steering wheel involvement, what do you mean by 'pull down'? Turn it, adjust it, just literally pull/push down on it?

if these features are in the steering wheel chances are they are not supported by the moduals if there not in the steering wheel and there in the dash chances are the place you had install them forgot to hook them back up take the vechile back and ask them.

I opened one when working at a breakers and found dry joints to be the problem,There is 1 bank of fuses under the steering whell and the main one on the drivers side dash viewed with door open.

disconect the batteri first wait for a few seconds turn on the radio see if it comes on if it dose not go ahead with the work also take the fuse for the air bags of when your done put back the fuse and then reconect the baterie post

those controls will only work with your factory audio unit not aftermarket ( it has an interphase )
