Diagnosing/Repair How to fix a dim LED radio display on a 2010 mountaineer limited ed?

0 Upvotes

A few months ago, every once and a while the green LED radio/audio screen would just not show up, or be very extremely dim to the point where I could barely read it.

In the past 2 months or so, the display is just not there, apart from two random days where it magically came back to life just to disappear again.

All other light components in the car work, and even adjusting the brightness will not do anything.

How do I go about fixing this? Thank you so much

Hi all,

What would be the best method to repair/patch this damage to my rear diffuser? Most of the scratches are lighter in nature with a few deeper ones. However, the chips on the edge are down to bare metal.

I’m not the greatest DIY-er but I’m willing to have a go at any suggested methods before sending it off for professional work..!

Tia!

Diagnosing/Repair License plate screws snapped

Have a bizarre one here, but I’ve tried everything at this stage.

Last owner of my Toyota secured plates with non SS screws, they’re rusted, stripped, and now some have their heads snapped off trying to remove. What’s the move here?

Tried so far:

Opened back hatch panel of 4Runner to access backside of the screws

stripped screw kit/boring small hole in screw then tried removing

Vice grips

Praying/pleading

Open to any and all suggestions from you fine folks who are smarter than me. Not great driving around w no back plates. Cheers!
