radio help

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Peter A. Neenan, Aug 3, 2003.

  1. My 94 EX has one of those cassette radios with an anti-theft device. When I
    let the battery run down, the power was disconnected to the radio.


    In an effort to get the radio to work again, I tried following the
    instructions in the owners manual. I turned the dial on, tried to punch in
    each of the numbers on the card provided by using the 1-6 station selector
    numbers on the radio. Nothing happened. Is there something else I should
    be doing? I thought I would ask before bringing the car to the dealership
    for service.

    Thanks

    Peter, You didn't mention that the word 'CODE' was displayed. If it
    wasn't there, you didn't need to enter anything. If the radio is playing
    DEAD, check the fuses in the under-hood and internal fuse boxes.

  3. Thanks, Curly! Unfortunately, it did say CODE on the display.

    Peter,

    Maybe you've got some soft drink gumming up one of the buttons. If you
    can't hear them all click, then they can't be used for code entry. If
    you don't get the code entered within three tries, just leave the
    ignition on for one hour... then try again.

    If I had a sticky button, (and didn't have the time/skill to tear the
    front end of the radio apart), I'd use a Q-tip dunked in HOT water to
    moisten / dissolve the Pepsi, then try to enter the CODE. Don't spray
    anything into the front of the buttons, especailly not something caustic
    like Fantastic. :-(
