Radio LEDs

Some of the green LEDs in my radio/clock have gone out. Can this be easily repaired DIY or at a radio shop, or must I live with it? Thanks, Carl

Im not sure about with these ford radios, but when some ofthe lights when out in my dads stock dakota radio, the dealership said a new radio is the only way to fix it. Im pretty sure that the lights in radios are non-replacable, but i could be wrong.

its not that they are non replaceable its that you would basically have to dismantle the whole thing to get to the teenie little lights and you might break something along the way or not be able to reassemble it properly i.e. if a spring or someting is placed in there by a machine and is held by pressure of the faceplate or something . . . who knows. or it could just not be worth the time and effort so there is no support for it to radio repair shops from the manufact.


sorry for the useless trivia sort of post. im at work and trying to mentally escape lol

I believe the display is LCD with a backlight. Replacing the one little backlight bulb is pretty simple but if part of the digits are missing I'd find another radio.
