Ok so this is a bit overdue. My stereo display lights went out. Not all of them just the main display. This winter I slid off the road and into 15" of snow. I kept him on his wheels but still a 55mph to 0 very quickly. My jeep was the only one of the dozen or so vehicles to be able to dig out. It was a nast 1/2 mile on I35.. anyway.. So the power light, cd eject, and source lights all still work. It's just the main graph display that isn't on. It's still fully functional and I can fade and balance fine..if i remember which buttons to hit when. It is a pioneer din and a half I bought back in 97. Anybody have any suggestions?

Possible ground but unsure

Try whacking it. (yes, it is a legitimate diagnostic technique)

Guesses....
Could it be tied into the vehicle's dash dimmer control? Have it set low? The fuse is blown?
