My overhead console is dead, nothing shows on screen. I have power at the proper wires. After removing console I noticed a black spot on the screen and some discoloration on the board, so I assume I need to replace both pieces. I thought I read we could swap in the screen and board from an Explorer (with sensor), is this true and which years of Explorer screen and board will work?

Yo K,

Here are two possible perpetrators;
Display Flicker Repair; "... my overhead console display started flickering and then went out completely. I disassembled the console module that houses the board and display, I noticed the faint smell of something that had burnt. I also noticed that the 5 pin heatsinked voltage regulator (ST brand L4947H www.st.com) was dissapating quite a bit of heat when powered. Using a meter and the spec sheets on the two regulators (the other was LM2940CT-12 or NTE1954) I noticed that the output from the L4947H was around 2 volts where it should have been 5 volts. Noting the amount of heat being dissapated and the low voltage reading, I determined that another component must have failed. I started looking at the nearest component which was a 100uF 6.3 volt electrolytic capacitor. Closer inspection revealed some brown crud under the bottom of it which meant that the capacitor had failed. I dug around in some spare parts and found a 100uF 16 volt capacitor which I installed in the circuit. Put the console back together and display is working fine.." READ MORE by
