1998 Ford Explorer XLT Stereo Lights

Aug 04, 2004 7 Replies

Hi,



I have a 1998 Ford Explorer XLT with a AM/FM/Cassette/CD-player and the entire stereo's front lights have failed. What can I do to fix this? It's awfully anoying not knowing the channel, volume, CD track, time, etc...



Thanks,

Good Luck, Paul

Paul,

That is great. I did just what you showed, except I re-soldered a few extra connectins to make sure that I got the problem.

Thanks for taking the time to post that. I have made a copy to keep incase it happens again.

I am having the same problem with my 97. But looking through the post here I can't find the answer. Also the link that was provided is no longer active. Please help.

I'm not sure if this is the link you're looking for but this is how I fixed my radio lights:

It's been working beautifully now for months. Having the radio lights was like getting a new car again (just missing the new car smell, though, I guess I can buy that in a can).

I used the "Save my Sanity" swap deal and was able to have a new display in my cars in less than 3 days from ordering it and never had to ship my radio out or never had to go without my tunes.
