The radio face is attached to the circuit board via two small ribbon connectors. Its possible one of these jiggled loose. You'll need to remove the console and disassemble parts of the radio to get at it.

Chris' instructions on how to fix a loose radio knob will get you to where you want to be:

Pay special attention to step 9. In that picture, you will see the ribbons I am referring to. If the ribbons are in fact attached, you may need to replace the radio.

Used radios show up on the marketplace from time to time. You can get one from another member for a price somewhere between $150-$300 depending on condition.
