I changed my battery and now I can not get my radio, cdl, and tape player to work. Do I have to take the car to the dealer or is this something I can do myself?

Sounds like it needs the code inputting, mine did the same. Now, what the code is?????
Maybe if you post the make and serial number on here someone may be able to help. It maybe written down in your manual etc.
Unfortunately, no. There's no good way to get cd's or tapes out of a non-working radio without breaking something. Depending on what is in the player, it may be easier to replace it.
You may be able to attach a battery pack or booster to the battery cables (after disconnecting the current battery) and see if the radio comes alive. If the damage is not too severe, you may still have a chance at recovering your stuff.
You need to see the dealer to sort this out. But ask why they didn't keep the system powered up wnen the battery is replaced, that avoids this problem as no memory or function is lost. Shame on whimever did this battery r and r
Take the radio out and note the serial number, give that serial number to the dealer and they will give you a code to punch in to get the radio working.
The switch inside the tape player needs to be cleaned or replaced. The dealers send out all radois to a repair shop that is an authorized repair facility to perform this type of work. Shop mechanics do not repair radios or tape decks at any dealer I know of. It may be far less to replace your ciurrent unit with an aftermarket one unless you want to keep your factory unit instead. Many top shelf radios are out there and most can be found at stores like Best Buy and even Car Max these days
Hello! Have you recently disconnected the battery? If so the radio is locked. If you do not have the unlocking code, take the vehicle to an authorized Oldsmobile dealer, give them the VIN# plus proof of ownership and they will give you the code...
The only way to get the car out of transport mode is for the dealer to plug the car in to the main diagnostic terminal and download the software to activate all of the control modules. This has to be done to all new cars arriving from the factory.
As your car is a 1994 this reason is highly unlikely for the radio to off stopped working.
It sounds to me that the actual radio tuner has given up, in short you may need a new radio.
If it has a CD player it means it is jammmed have the dealer correct the issue first and make sure you have the radio code for future battery changes or battery disconnects its available only with the dealer and proof of ownership
I have a 2001 focus ..radio suddenly stopped playing after being at garage. I thought that the battery was disconnected and the radio neede reset code, as it has a rad blinking dash anti-theft light. i went to ford garage and they told me they don't have reset codes on the focus. Is this true?
