Overhead Console

[flycatch]

I have a 2001 Explorer Sport 2 door and the temp/compass function went blank. The map lights and moon roof functions work. I have already read the fix to solve this problem but I took the easy way out and ordered one refurbished unit off an ebay vendor. Today I installed the unit and have the same problem. Is there something else that could cause this. You be thinking that the replacement unit I purchased is also defective and you may be right. Before I contact the vendor any suggestions would be appreciated.

First, check fuse in "central junction box", fuse 10, 7.5A. Key needs to be "on" for power. Then, the GRY/YEL wire should have 12v+ at the plug in the roof, according to my wiring diagram.

Simple fix...

The unit is working after I read the instructions in the owners manual.

So what you're saying is you found out how to turn it on...

That was easy!
I just went through the opposite- map lights no worky, yep broken ribbon.
Just love the easy fixes

Or did the truck fix itself knowing it's owner was reading, and about to get serious?
