Above is the manual’s repair procedure; below is a bit of a short cut.

If the radio & radio memory are working properly that means the fuses are ok (same fuses for the DIC (driver information center) & the radio).

Check for power and ground at the DIC connector; terminals 7 & 14 should have battery voltage, terminal 8 (black wire) is ground. If there is power & ground, replace the DIC; if not, start looking for a bad connection or broken wire.
