i have a 95 maxima , the radio is working fine except for the screen , all the buttons are illuminated but screen , before it was working sometimes , now - not at all , can anybody know how to fix that.the radio is factory bose.thanks

could be a grounding issue or a short. worst case scenario the screen is out and you might have to replace the unit itself.

Same problem with my 95 maxima

Do your backspeakers work? Mine cratered about 2 years ago

The Bose units were anything but bulletproof.

The one in my 96 started having screen problems about 3 years ago. It would flicker and go out. Knocking it a little normally brought it back. Then the CD started skipping alot and then it wouldn't play anymore.

I tried fixing it myself, but that just made things worse. Plus disassembling that beast is a real chore.

Most Bose repair shops will charge you about $150-$200 to repair it and they will also do preventative maintenance on it.

I happened to find a shop locally that repaired another unit I bought on Ebay. I bought it for $15 and paid $80 to have it repaired. Works pretty good. I just wish I didn't trash the first unit and had them fix that one instead (it sounded better-different style unit).

backspeakers are fine ...will try to find a shop who can do it for the fair price

It's the backlighting on the display. I doubt that you'll be albe to find a replacement part for it at a reasonable price.

Just thought of something.

Clarion actually has a phone number for a replacement part distributer out here in California.

I don't have their number, but you should be able to contact Clarion and get their info.

The volume switch on my HU was only like $7.50 from them.
