My 1999 Maxima has a Clarion radio/cassette player. Everything still works fine, except the backlight (?) is out that illuminates the lcd display for the station number.
The LCD display is sharp and crisp day or night. It is just that there is nothing to illuminate the station number at night. Kind of hard to see.
Can someone tell me how to fix it?
TIA, Steve
Can you solder? if yes then take apart the radio, and replace the tiny bulb behind the display (about $1.49 for 2 at radio shack) if not then..........
Sure, Brian. I can solder. There is a blue colored led or bulb (what is it?) behind the LCD display. is this it??
Can you tell me if this is an LED or bulb and if possible do you have the part number?
Thanks for your reply, Steve
it's a bulb most probably with a plastic cover, Don't remember the part # but it is stocked by radio shack
