Weird Radio display...

**chad3113** · 07-03-2007, 04:39 PM

OK guys this is kinda wierd... sometimes my radio display will not function properly. At random times when i start the car up, the display just shows random lines instead of the time or radio station. Its like the numbers and time are incomplete and sometimes blink randomly

. The radio and cd player work fine, but the display cannot be read.

This problem comes and goes and i dunno what the hell the prob is. Any suggestions?

typical monsoon issue-just a matter of time before it goes black and you'll only be able to see it with A LOT of direct sunlight. I suggest you be sure to program all your favorite stations in ASAP

What Third_Shift is talking about occurs when the bulb behind the display burns out. The display still functions properly, but you can't read it unless you shine a bright light on it. He should learn how to change the display bulb if he doesn't want to stay uninformed in the dark. Your problem sounds like there's a defect or loose connection to the display driver if you can still see the display. There's a place near you in LA. that repairs GM radios that does good work - I've used his services before. Google 'corvetteradios' repairs to find out who they are.
