Does the display just dim or does it go off? There is a light sensor on the front of the system that is used to automatically adjust the brightness of the display to match surrounding/external light levels. For example, if it's placed in a dark room then the display dims and if it's placed in a well lit room the display gets brighter.
the light in the display is probly burnt out. if you take the radio out you can take the top off it and the light is right at the display. you can take it out with a screwdriver. sometimes the light is just loose and will still work but if you need a new one you can get it at www.corvetteradios.com. hope that will help you out.
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.
The instrument cluster lights have their own fuse. It's a 5 amp at the bottom center of the fuse block. When the lights are on, the radio draws lamp power from the instrument cluster. This allows you to dim the brightness of the radio display with the other internal lamps.
I have problem with my radio display. All digits show just a half numeric ?
If you turn up your interior dashboard light settings, then the radio display will be brighter too. The radio dims to the setting for the dashboard when the lights are turned on.
Replace the radio.

The radio light in your car's dashboard illuminates the radio display panel, making it easier to see and use the radio controls while driving in low light conditions.
Some have an adjustable light and some do not. This is something that you need to check out before you buy the product.
You can't be serious. If the display light goes out...that means it is out. Buy a new radio if it really bothers you.
It has a small light bulb in the radio you have to replace. Take the radio out and take it apart and you will see it in the front. You can get it from a Ford dealer or try www.rockauto.com - Enter year,model and make and go down to Electrical-Lamp & Socket/ Radio Dial Light Bulb
If the display is not on when you turn the ignition on. First you check the fuses. radio memory is usually run with the courtesy light fuse. The main radio fuse is marked radio. Second you pull the radio out and test the power leads to the radio. If you have no power then there may be a short in a wire. If there is power on the power leads then the radio must be replaced.
i work fro a Chevy dealer and when your display goes bad it means radio replacement time. if your dash light work and not the radio you will need to replace the radio

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.

I don't believe you can display both the radio station and the clock at the same time. With the radio on push the "CLK" button, that will display the time and I believe when you change radio stations it will display the station # temporarily before returning to the clock display.
