Hi gang,
I'm over from the 48-60 forum. My daughters 2000 explorer, eddie bauer, has a failing radio display. Now of the lights work but the radio plays and functions. n I was wondering if there is a known problem, such as a fix like in the blanked out odometo display.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. Jim G 1098

Scucci,

Thanks for the post on the explorer radio. I think I will yank it out and send it to the expert,

Hello, this is Brent at 1 Factory Radio. The best solution for display lights going out in Ford Explorers is to get a new DC to DC Converter, because this part was usually responsible for display malfunctions due to its own inherent deisgn flaws. We offer our own brand of DC to DC Converter for Ford Explorers and many other Ford vehicles from the late 90's to the early 2000's. Pioneer no longer makes these parts, but ours are 40% less expensive than the ones that Pioneer was selling. These are high-quality, newly manufactured pieces which have been specifically engineered to correct the design flaws which caused the originals to malfunction prematurely, and they come with a full-color instruction manual for easy installation. You can purchase them from our eBay site, Truck Radio, iPhone Input items in Car Radio store on eBay!, and also on the 1 Factory Radio website, www.1factoryradio.com.
