I just purchased a used magnum, the other day i turned the headlights on and only the 2,3,4,and 5 preset radio station buttons lit up. nothing else on the radio will light up. is this a common problem and does it sound like the whole radio will have to be replaced? the fuses checked out fine. i bought a 5yr 100,00 warranty with the car but i called the warranty place and they said radio's are not usually covered. also before we bought the vehicle we checked all the power windows, they all worked. the second day i had the car the rear driver side window would not work, but the very next day it worked again, and has been working for the past two days. any ideas on that?
thank you

As far as the radio, I believe the light can be replaced in it. I would recommend having it checked at a car audio shop. The window sounds like a bad connection or a short in the wiring. With that type of problem, you can trace the wires and try to locate the problem (which may or may not show up) or wait until it stops working and then identify the problem (which is much more productive). If the problem is under the warranty you purchased, make the dealer document that the problem occurred while the car was still under warranty.
