Need help installing a Pioneer radio in my 2009 Hyundai Elantra. I don't have a radio right now, it's just a plastic face plate. I am under the impression that I have to take off my dashboard in order to gain access to it. Anyone?

I would start by having someone who has a little electric knowledge to look for a loose wire. I would start with the ground wire. maybe it just never got tightened down right at the factory or over the years electricity can build up some erosion.
Am not sure whether you have the Hyundai Owners Manual. If you don't I find it very worthwhile. Section 6, the "do it yourself section" lists page 6-34 and 6-35 for fuse descriptions. Also on the cover of the fuse box in the car under the ash tray left of the driver is a pictogram, but in any case according to my manual radio and clock are both listed on the "audio" and is in the inner panel, the 10A at the top right(next to the spare). Don't know about your roof light - hope you don't take offense but assume you checked the switch just didn't get set wrong, but if it isn't solved by fixing that one, the manual lists RoomLP controlling the inside lights, which is in the bottom (shorter) row on the far right. Of course, this might not help but if it does I could possibly scan my owner's manual page and email it if you can't find one.
Have a qualified Hyundai Service Technician properly diagnose your vehicle. Chances are the audio unit has malfunctioned (OR, it can't read the CD). Is the CD one you 'burned' yourself? Can it read a NEW CD? If not, cleaning the "Read Head" inside the player might cure it, but, odds are the unit has an internal malfunction.
It might be worth a trip to the service center/dept to find out exactly what the problem is. If you're the original owner, it could still be under warranty!

There is nothing wrong with your radio. Your Elantra radio automatically changes the volume for you. When you slow down and stop, it lowers the volume, then the volume goes back up when you accelerate.
