OK, got the new alterntor fitted and the car is back to running like a dream...with one small problem.

When I hooked everything back up, the radio was completely dead. After doing a search here and on renntech, I saw the info about changing the fuse on the rear of the radio. Popped out the radio and sure enough, the fuse there had blown (tested all the fuses behind the panel at your left foot also, all were good there.)

So I thought everything was now good-to-go...until I turned on the radio and got nothing. I noticed that the speakers were making a hissing noise, so when I pressed eject, the CD popped out. Strange I thought, so I got out my flashlight and looked at the display, sure enough I could see it asking me to enter my code. Entered the code and the radio works!

The only thing is, I have no display to look at, unless I shine a flashlight onto the panel, then I can see the read-out. I tried cleaning the contacts, making sure the front panel was correctly seated etc, but still no visible display unless I shine a flashlight on it.

Anyone got any ideas??? I'm going nuts here...lol.

Cheers, Gord.
