Focus 2012

Hello lads I got in the car today and mid way on my drive my wife told me that #1 and #4 on the radio had gone out, I tap them and they try to come on again. 

Anyone with a similar problem?

As in the buttons don't work? Or the lights aren't working properly?

As the lights  don't work but buttos still function as normal.. I always thought the hole panel was being illuminated by a single light but looks like each button has it's own led

You'd have to take the fascia off and see if you can strip the button panel down to find a lose LED. Otherwise a new button panel is £25-30 on eBay.

Each button is illuminated by a (very small) SMD LED that is soldered onto the circuit board.

Replacing the defective SMD LED's requires both the skills and soldering equipment to solder micro components. Apart from this it is very hard to obtain the correct color (Ice-Blue) SMD LED's.
