I still get sound and the radio but i cant see anything on the screen
It could be dirty contacts on the back of the faceplate. Have you tried to clean the metal contacts? Use a pencil eraser on the contacts and try to get them nice and shiny. If the contacts are hard to clean with an eraser, remove the faceplate and replace it on the deck several times and see if that helps. If the deck still doesn't work properly, try a reset by hitting the reset button with a pen tip. It is located below the volume control.

My issue was that I didn't have the blue "amp" wire hooked up and I had a factory amp.

just had the same prob. you probably did not have the factory amp hooked up . its a blu wire on the factory harnes. if you used the aftermarket conversion harness. you would hook up either the remote wire or the elcect ant. wire. both blut with white strip on most decks. mine was also a dodge car. i had the prob on.

If you can operate the unit using the ON/OFF button and Station Preset buttons, then the faceplate is OK.
