Did you pull out the radio? I only ask this because we ran into almost the same situation. After pulling the radio and reinstalling it, the display went blank. It came back on after making sure that the radio was in the correct position in the dash press firmly on the bottom of the radio assembly. Also,try pulling the radio out and making sure that all are the harnesses are fully seated.

Yikes, I am one of the few people that actually know this vehicle. Ensure that you plugged in all of the molex's on the front of the radio. The radio dash panel that holds the controls is a push together molex mated to the factory radio. Remove that panel again and ensure that all the pins are intact and straight. This panel must go together properly for the radio to work again.
