Question
Our factory radio works well except for the LED display will not light.  Therefore I can't see what station is playing ,view the time and etc. During a trip on a very rough road the display lighted and was fully readable, but then more rough road and it shut off again, to completely black. I would like to fix this myself and am very handy.  How do I remove the radio from the dash and replace the defective display or what else do I do to fix he problem.

Answer
the radio display power suply is damage this is inside the radio
left side  all the resistors need to be replace

to remove the radio you need the correct  radio keys
