If the radio works, but, the display does not, probably time for replacement.

Nope, just the CD. No cassette.

This goes over the infinity unit that came in these trucks, but I'm pretty sure a lot will be the same. I had my old infinity unit work intermittently, and I bout another radio, and went over all the solder joints in the old one and it worked again once I was done.

If you have a few hours and a soldering iron, just reheat all the joints that look iffy. They usually crack just because of age and vibrations.
