Hi i just bought a 1993 240sx fastback and their seems to be a problem with the orginal radio. The radio plays fine, it's just that the numbers for the stations do not light up, so i don't know what station i'm listening to. Does anyone know how i can fix this problem... i'd appreciate it very much.

the best thing to do is just ditch it and get yourself a nice aftermarket radio <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Same thing with my 93 240sx.  It seems that when it gets really hot inside the car, the numbers kinda show up.  I'd just get something new, or you can look on ebay for a used nissan radio.

You could pull out the factory deck and check if any Red/Blue wires have came loose and are not connected anymore.  The Red/Blue wires are for the illumination control and light up when you turn your headlights on... i donno
