How to replace Radio Bulb? Ford 6000CD - a900ss
Hi,

I have a Ford 6000CD stereo and I need to replace the bulb that illuminates the display. Any ideas how I do it, I've removed the unit and there doesn't appear to be a way to open the unit up. Please don't tell me I need to return it to Ford for replacement?

thanks

Hi, 9 times out of 10 the display on radios is illuminated by soldered LED lights, so unfortunately it would be a Ford dealer job or you could opt for having it repaired at a car stereo repair specialist, and to get a LED for the display would be difficult. The most likely thing that they would do is replace the display on the unit.
