How to replace Radio Bulb? Ford 6000CD - a900ss
Hi,

I have a Ford 6000CD stereo and I need to replace the bulb that illuminates the display. Any ideas how I do it, I've removed the unit and there doesn't appear to be a way to open the unit up. Please don't tell me I need to return it to Ford for replacement?

thanks

Hi, 9 times out of 10 the display on radios is illuminated by soldered LED lights, so unfortunately it would be a Ford dealer job or you could opt for having it repaired at a car stereo repair specialist, and to get a LED for the display would be difficult. The most likely thing that they would do is replace the display on the unit.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
