2000 Grand Prix with CD player....everything works except the display that shows the time and radio station....all of the other backlighting works. Is this fixable or time for a new unit? Just put a tranny in this car, hope this is a cheap fix....

Thanks, guys. I took the radio out, took it apart and found the bad bulb. Ordered one from https://www.corvetteradios.com for $16 plus shipping. Put everything back together, just waiting for the bulb, then I'll take the radio out again and repair it.
