The person on the phone said that at some point (couldn't say when) there has obviously been some a cost cutting measures and this is one of them. I remember reading an article in either Wheels or Motor that Ford was cutting costs on the BF's in minor areas but it didn't say where. Given the feedback on this forum it seems there are plenty of BF's with backlit switches so it would be interesting to find out which month it was stopped. Mine is a August build.
