The problem is reported on many web sites. The power supply board for the display gets to warm and melts some of the solder connections. You will need to remove the radio from the dash. Remove the display panel from the radio and the top cover panel. When facing the front of the radio, there is a small board on the left side of the radio. It is held in place by two bendable tabs, one at the front of the radio and the other in the circle in the metal housing (both are in an area of white paint). You will also need to remove the screw in the rear heat synch. At this point, the board will be lift up easily. With a magnifing glass find any cracked or bad solder joint and touch it up. Be careful, the SMD are not glued to the board so they can slip when the solder is hot. Good luck.
If the radio display light on an H2 Hummer is not working but the radio itself is functioning properly, it may indicate a problem with the backlighting system of the display. This could be due to a faulty light bulb or LED behind the display screen. To fix this issue, you would need to disassemble the radio unit, locate the faulty light source, and replace it with a compatible replacement component. It is recommended to consult a professional technician or refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions on how to access and replace the display light in the H2 Hummer radio.
check the fuse on the wires on your radio, there is a separate wire for the display lights that should be wired to your dash lights
The circuits have nothing in common. The dome light works whether or not the key is on, the radio only works with the key on.
i have a 95 Spirit and have the same problem. It is getting power to the radio (back lit, and tape player will rewind, but the clock display doesnt work, and the radio doesnt work (which sucks). Sometimes it will turn on when I start my car, but once the car is running, there is 0% chance of the radio coming on, even if I start banging around the radio. THis leads me to believe that is not a loose wire, but something in the ignition? Any input would be appreciated! I to had the same prob with the radio in a 90 Caravan which also carrys the same radio setup as the Dodge Spirit... its a short in the radio that aventually developes... theres nothing wrong with wiring... i took the radio setup out of my 92 Spirit (cause trans went out) and put it into the Caravan and still works fine, so its not a wiring prob... just a prob with the radio itself.
FM radio works like light. If a shadow is made (something in the way) , you get less light. Radio waves work in a straight line. If something is in the way, less radio waves. The rule is broken here if you use Am radio waves. Low clouds can make the waves bounce between the clouds and the ground and can travel as far as 1000 miles or further. So the answer is yes.
Yes Sirius radio works wherever satellite signal reaches.

It's probably a bad connection. If you feel up to it, you could take the radio apart and re-seat the ribon cable that feeds the display assembly. Remove the radio, take the top plate off and you can replace the bulb for the display.
If the dashboard dimmer switch works with the other dash lights, the fault is in the radio unit itself.
If it is working what needs to be fixed? Assume, the lack of display. Not sure but I think the radio has two separate fuses, one for the radio one for it's display, check the fuses I have had similar problem but not sure if it was with my Topaz

The backlight lightbulb inside the stereo for the display may be burned out ( best case ) or the display itself is bad ( worst case ). How would either senerio be fixed?
Automotive engineers or mechanics.
what about it//how do you get the radio numerals to show up on the display. on my car it is not clear and i can't tell what station is on playing. how do you fix this//

There is a solution to the problem at www.FixYourRadio.com . It does require you to be able to solder, or find someone that can solder, or learn to solder...the directions has pictures that will lead you through the repair (you can even learn to solder to make the repair yourself). This worked on my radio which was a Chrysler Intrepid 95 with the radio with the CD.
Unplugging the system from the fuse box should reset the display. If this doesn't help then reset the fuse in the fuse box.
