The radio receives power from the RADIO fuse in the junction block-right I/P. Ground is provided via G201 and G202. The radio is enabled/disabled by class 2 messages from the body control module (BCM). The radio routes audio signals from the digital radio receiver or the vehicle communication interface module (VCIM) to the speakers and/or amplifier when directed by class 2 messages.
The Entertainment System on this vehicle is configured with an AM/FM stereo radio with the radio data system (RDS) and either a cassette player or a CD player or both. CD and cassette. The uplevel system provides the customer with extended range speakers and an audio amplifier. Satellite digital radio (U2K) is available with uplevel systems.
The following list shows the radios available for this vehicle:
• Radio (ULO) - AM/FM Stereo, Cassette with RDS
• Radio (UNO) - AM/FM Stereo, CD and RDS

I would think it's a fluke thing,radios just quit,it's their thing.A new radio shoud fix your problem.

Not much it can be really. If it is picking up A.M. no problem then it is not a connection problem. It is a fault in the radio itself. F.M. frequency is the easiest to pick up so get the radio checked as it has to be internal.

for sure button for FM is out of order

i was wondering if you were able to find a solution for this. I am currently having this same problem with my vehicle (as a few others as well). if you could please let me know, id greatly appreciate it. my email is [email protected].

were the lights working before?
sounds like a defective radio.

Call the XM service number, they will refresh your signals. If it was the head unit, the same problem would occur during AM/FM signal transmission
