My radio dispaly is so dim that I cannot even see the stations now!! Why? I would appreciate it if you could point out the problem and possible solution to fix it.

I read some discussions on the same topic in this forum recently. It seems the problems can be caused by many things. In my case, everything else works but the radio display.

Thanks a lot.

What in those threads were you having a problem with, and how is your problem different than all those previously?

HEY! Even though I'm pissy today (thank you work), I think I at least helped a bit!

yeah, you did. ish.

I still haven't seen a thread that really addresses this problem and a DIY to fix them.

I hate C33 radios. More than anything.

I know...it was stretch to call it help.

I actually did the search before posting the new thread and just could not find a single practical solution.

Here is a nice DIY. :)

I had trouble with my Traffic Pro display. Turns out it just needed a good cleaning.
It didn't look dirty/grimey at all and I don't smoke.
