I have a 1998 Ford Explorer Sport, and everytime i turn on my vehicle the
radio display does not display.  I can not seem to figure out why, any
suggestions?

Go to google groups and search your subject.... volumes have been
written.... my personal choice would be a new (brand name) stereo.

Unfortunately this is a common problem with Ford radios. You can get
the boards to repair it here: http://speedometerservice.com   The cost
is about $100 delivered and it's quite easy to install.

Here's a link to show how to remove the radio:
http://www.shareamemory.com/radio/removal.htm  although I found it
easier to remove the two screws underneath the radio and pull the
entire radio/temp control section out of the dash.

Hope this info helps and best wishes on your repair.

1 high quality limb, rack, or roast
Potatoes, carrot
Oil
celery
onions
green onions
parsley
garlic
salt, pepper, etc
2 cups beef stock

Marinate meat (optional, not necessary with better cuts).
Season liberally and lace with garlic cloves by making incisions,
  and placing whole cloves deep into the meat.
Grease a baking pan, and fill with a thick bed of onions,
  celery, green onions, and parsley.
Place roast on top with fat side up.
Place uncovered in 500? oven for 20 minutes, reduce oven to 325?.
Bake till medium rare (150?) and let roast rest.
Pour stock over onions and drippings, carve the meat and
  place the slices in the au jus.

Bisque ? l?Enfant

Honor the memory of Grandma with this dish by utilizing her good
silver soup tureen and her great grandchildren (crawfish, crab or
lobster will work just as well, however this dish is classically
made with crawfish).

Stuffed infant heads, stuffed crawfish heads, stuffed crab or lobster shells;
  make patties if shell or head is not available
  (such as with packaged crawfish, crab, or headless baby).
Flour
oil
onions
bell peppers
garlic salt, pepper, etc.
3 cups chicken stock
2 sticks butter
3 tablespoons oil

First stuff the heads, or make the patties (see index)
  then fry or bake.  
Set aside to drain on paper towels.
Make a roux with butter, oil and flour,
  brown vegetables in the roux, then add chicken stock and
  allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the patties or stuffed heads, and some loose crawfish,
  lobster, long piglet, or what have you.
Cook on low for 15 minutes, then allow it to set for at least
  15 minutes more.
Serve over steamed rice; this dish is very impressive!

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Babies really can be found under a cabbage leaf -
or one can arrange for ground beef to be found there instead.

8 large cabbage leaves
1 lb. lean ground ne

I thought it might have been a loose wire, but you guys are saying that it
is common and needs to be replaced?  I also have a 6 disk cd player, if i
were to get a new CD player would there be any problem occurances because
of the 6 disk player?

Yes, from what I understand that your wheel controls for the stereo will not
work..so that is a good reason to repair the HU.

Check www.crutchfield.com.  I believe they have some models that can
use the wheel controls.

stew, place top crust and with a fork, seal the crusts together
  then poke holes in top.
Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until pie crust is golden brown.

Sudden Infant Death Soup

SIDS: delicious in winter, comparable to old fashioned Beef and Vegetable Soup.
Its free, you can sell the crib, baby clothes, toys, stroller... and so easy to
procure if such a lucky find is at hand (just pick him up from the crib and
he?s good to go)!

SIDS victim, cleaned
? cup cooking oil
Carrots
onions
broccoli
whole cabbage
fresh green beans
potato
turnip
celery
tomato
? stick butter
1 cup cooked pasta (macaroni, shells, etc.)

Remove as much meat as possible, cube, and brown in hot oil.
Add a little water, season, then add the carcass.
Simmer for half an hour keeping the stock thick.
Remove the carcass and add the vegetables slowly to the stock,
  so that it remains boiling the whole time.
Cover the pot and simmer till vegetables are tender
  (2 hours approximately).
Continue seasoning to taste.
Before serving, add butter and pasta,
  serve piping with hot bread and butter.

Offspring Rolls

Similar to Vietnamese style fried rolls, they have lots of meat
(of course this can consist of chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp).
Who can resist this classic appetizer; or light lunch served with
a fresh salad? Versatility is probably this recipe?s greatest virtue,
as one can use the best

salad, fruit salad
Bran muffins, dinner rolls, soft breadsticks, rice pilaf, croissants
Apple cake with rum sauce, frosted banana nut bread sherbet, home made brownies
Iced tea, water, beer, bloody marys, lemonade, coffee

The guests select food, beverages, silverware... everything from the buffet table.
They move to wherever they are comfortable, and sit with whoever they choose.
Provide trays so your guests will not spill everything all over your house from
carrying too much, nor will they have to make 10 trips back and fourth from the
service stations.

Roast Leg of Amputee

By all means, substitute lamb or a good beef roast if the haunch
it is in any way diseased. But sometimes surgeons make mistakes,
and if a healthy young limb is at hand, then don?t hesitate to cook
it to perfection!

Potatoes, carrot
Oil
celery
onions
green onions
parsley
garlic
salt, pepper, etc
2 cups beef stock

Marinate meat (optional, not necessary with better cuts).

  and placing whole cloves deep into the meat.

(of course this can consist of chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp).
Who can resist this classic appetizer; or light lunch served with
a fresh salad? Versatility is probably this recipe?s greatest virtue,
as one can use the best part of a prime, rare, yearling, or the
morticians occasional horror: a small miracle stopped short by a
drunk driver, or the innocent victim of a drive-by shooting...

2 cups finely chopped very young human flesh
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup bean sprouts
5 sprigs green onion, finely chopped
5 cloves minced garlic
4-6 ounces bamboo shoots
Sherry
chicken broth
oil for deep frying (1 gallon)
Salt
pepper
soy & teriyaki
minced ginger, etc.
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water
1 egg beaten

Make the stuffing:
  Marinate the flesh in a mixture of soy and teriyaki sauces
     then stir fry in hot oil for till brown - about 1 minute, remove.
  Stir-fry the vegetables.
  Put the meat back into the wok and adjust the seasoning.
  De-glaze with sherry, cooking off the alcohol.
  Add broth (optional) cook a few more minutes.
  Add the cornstarch, cook a few minutes till thick,
     then place the stuffing into a colander and cool;
  2 hours
Wrap the rolls:  
  Place 3 tablespoons of stuffing in the wrap, roll tightly -
     corner nearest you first, fold 2 side corners in,
     wrap till remaining corner is left.
  Brush with egg, seal, and allow to sit on the seal for
  a few minutes.
Fry the rolls:  
  325? if using egg roll wraps, 350? for spring roll wraps.
  Deep fry in peanut oil till crispy golden brown, drain on paper

I used the service at www.shareamemory.com/radio and by using the "Save My
Sanity" swap program got the radio fixed without having to send it in for
$84.99.  It included all the instructions and the replacement board do the
repair.  No soldering required, just a philips screw driver and pair of
needle nose pliers.  My neighbor used the same service, however, the board
swap didn't work for him...he was able to return the board for a full refund
(no hassle) and then ended up sending his radio in to be repaired at the
same place for only $150 (it was not the common display board problem).  I
know if you ask me, I thought it was a great service, and I'm sure my
neighbor would say the same. Hope this helps.

I have a 1998 Ford Explorer Sport, and everytime i turn on my vehicle the
radio display does not display.  I can not seem to figure out why, any
suggestions?
