Mazda 3 (2006) Information Display panel is blank

The display screen above the radio has gone blank. The radio and everything else on the dash seems to be working ... just no display for functions of the radio ... clock and the like. I can't determine if it has a separate fuse or it's just died. Any ideas? on my 2004 Mazda 3, my radio fuse went out. I replaced it, then it burnt out the new one right away. I tried what taterhead suggested, but need another fuse to put in the # 44 spot

2008 mazda tribute dash display with clock, radio station and temp does not work. Radio and cd player works fine Buttons are lit up on radio buttons

The small display screen is renowned for this fault. Press on the plastic surround/bezel and see if the display shows any sign of life. It appears to be either a soldered joint or circuit board problem. I would doubt that replacing the radio will fix the fault, and at a bet, buying a replacement unit will be expensive and probably only result in the fault returning. Never know - there may be someone who has managed to work out a permanent fix for it...

Our 2008 Saturn Aura's radio works (we listen to Sirrus XM) but no display. All other displays (dash baord, dome light, and lights on the panel below the radio) work and can be adjusted by turnin

The lights in the radio may have gone or are loose. May be time for a new radio.

95 mazda millenia a/c climate control, clock,and outside temp dis

i would just get a used one off ebay. usually you can find the dash with the a/c amp(pushbuttons) and the display for around 40 bucks. they are separate units(display and amp), and are mounted with screws that go into the back of the dash panel. the dash panel is easy to remove, there are 2 anchor screws on either side of the steering column. right side is under a plastic cover, the other is under the rheostat, just carefully pry them out, and you will see the screws. then the whole dash part pops out. you will need to disconnect the harness's that plug into the back of the amp, then it all comes free. it might help to put the steering wheel in the lowest position.

In dash display with clock,radio station indicator and outside temp.doesn't work,just all of sudden...Everything else is O.K.

My audio and clock display stopped working all of a sudden. The audio system still worked fine. I had all my fuses checked previously and was told it could cost up to $800 to fix by Mazda. I pulled out fuse 31 and wiped it clean, reinserted it and now my display works as good as new. Thanks to those on this site for your help.

On my 2001 Escape the lights are out on the gear shift display and the radio display. The radio still works just no display. Is this a fuse or an electrical problem?

I suspect you have the radio problem that needs to be reapired by a guy who does this.

Question: The display on my radio has gone blank. Everything else on th radio seems to work.

Answer: It seems that in most cases the problem is bad solder joint for the flourescent display. Here is Chris's comments on this problem:
"On the factory stereos from Ford they used two types of displays. One is a LCD display with a light bulb behind to illuminate the segments of the display. Replacement of this bulb can be tricky but not impossible.

On the stereos with the blue/green Vacuum Florescent Displays (VFD) the problem is usually caused by broken solder connections to the display board or the Tube. On most VFD’s the last two pins on each end are the filament and if the solder connection breaks it will not let the tube light the segments. Most VFD’s will out last the life of the car but they do burnout.

Another problem to check for is if the tube itself is broken. It is a glass tube." Also, you can try here: http://www.shareamemory.com/radio/.
