Blank radio display

Oct 16, 2004 1 Replies

I have a 98 Ford Explorer, radio works fine but the display has gone dead. Hard to tune stations without it. I have seen several posts about this problem... am looking for advice or "how to's" to repair myself. Is there a website out there showing schematics or directions of how to repair. Preferably a freebie site. Thanks.



There is a site at

that has the information you seek. While it's not free, the cost for the information is more than worth what you will get out of it. I used it to fix my blank display problem and was very pleased with the detailed instructions (lots of step by step pictures) and there are a lot of explanations as to what can cause the problems on these radios (it's not always one thing). I believe you can request the schematics (as they are not posted in the web site, but I talked to others before I bought into the web site that were listed as "success" customers on the web site that requested the schematics and got them with no problem). I know it's easy to get spoiled by free information on the Internet, but I found this web site information was well worth the cost. My wife wonders why I went 8 months with a blank display!?!
