You’ll improve your chances if people know where you are. Even then it’s a long shot. My advice is to try a web search. Failing that a car audio shop might be able to replace the unit.

Most likely a replace rather than repair situation.  
Check you YouTube videos, you may decide to do it yourself.  
I had the radio/CD player fail on a 98 Explorer. I first went to a big box store that offered “free” installation on any unit \>$100. Fine, then I saw they were charging $50 for the three $10 adapters required. I went elsewhere, bought a better unit and the adapters. Took about an hour to switch out less than $200.

Perhaps “Classic” is the trim level?
