Default Radio Display intermittent not working

Hi,
Can anyone help, recently I’ve noticed in my 04, that when I start her up the radio and climate display is blank, then it will randomly work or randomly not work.

Thanks!

The electronics in the C-5 are old school fiberglass PCBs. Over time they get brittle and are prone to cold/broken solder joints. Browse the forum for the HVAC dim display fix, it's pretty easy.

Thanks, I will look into it. Strange though because they are not dim, but work fine...... until they don't. It seems they don't work at startup most of the time, but then will go on.
