I've fixed two base CD radio displays. They have a single bulb soldered to display circuit board behind clock/radio display. On the first I de-soldered the metal cover and removed to gently raise glass display and expose bulb. Solder connections are actually on outside of this display platform. I clipped leads on outside and threaded leads of new bulb (same as many 12v solder in instrument bulbs), and re-soldered to stubs of old bulb leads. I then reattached metal cover.

After understanding how this was all made, on second unit I again simply clipped leads on exterior of display platform, without removing metal cover. I then used small drills to progressively enlarge bottom of plastic platform where old leads protruded. (I did this by hand, not with a 1/2" drill). Anyway, after enlarging hole enough to extract old bulb, I slipped new bulb back into opening and secured with a little hot melt glue, and re-soldered leads as done in first unit.

Oh by the way, I'm a retired electronics technician.

What causes the clock radio and CD player display on a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix to intermittantly dim or go off and how can I repair it?

== == i had the same problem on my 2003. i fixed it by taking the radio completely out of the dash and dismantling the front face of it. the lightbulb connector on the screen display was loose. you actually have to do it in your car to get the light to work. just slowly rotate it til it turns on while you have your car on ac. either you can trust it where it is after it comes back on or you can hot glue it.
