2000 XLT radio display blank

The stock radio/CD player on my 2000 Explorer XLT functions fine. Except the display suddenly went blank. All lights in the instrument cluster are operating, and all other lights on the radio are working. The display (clock, volume, frequency) on the radio simply went blank. It comes on sometimes, but only for maybe ten seconds. It doesn't flicker on and off. It just fades off. Is this an electronic component problem that a replacement part will resolve, or is it an IC problem that means forget it? -Eric

I have the same problem on my 1998 XLT. Occasionaly the display works and at other times it is blank. Unfortunately I haven't got an answer to the problem as yet.

That was the same problem I was having. I read various postings about the problem and ended up going to

He does charge $19.99, but it was well worth the time I saved in trying to troubleshoot the problem and he offers a swap program which doesn't require you to go without your radio...most enjoyable.
