Radio Light

92 F-150 with a stock radio/cassette player.
all of a sudden the little light that iluminates the time and station went blank. You can still see the time if you lean over in the right way(kinda dangerous while driving though).
The rest of the lights on the radio are O.K.

Does the radio need pulled? I read on another post that you take a "U" shaped coat hanger then push it into those 4 little holes. Do you push(the coathanger) and pull on the face plate at the same time?

You have to pull the radio out and take a panel off the radio. There is a bulb behind the station display that goes out once in a while. They are available at Radio Shack.

That light is powered thru a separate terminal on the radio and thru a separate fuse from everything else. Check your fuses before you pull your radio out & apart!

Just pulled my radio. I tried fooling with the 4 holes on the front...no good. I was able to get my hands in behind it with the dash panel off and pinch the retainers. But that's on my 92 van, maybe you can't do it on the p/u.

It should come out the same way in your truck as in the van. They are almost exactly the same.
