most units have either 2 small holes in the dash panel or 2 very slim slots on either side of the radio. There is a tool that removes the radio and if you know a radio installer he will have the tools. Sometimes they came in the owners hand book for the radio.

Changing the timing belt is something that usually needs done if it has not been changed and the car has over $100,000 miles. Most Festivas last for a lot longer than that. Mine is going on well over 200,000! All you need is the Festiva shop manual which you can find on eBay for about $10 to $30, if you hunt around and wait for a bargain. The manual fully explains every step and makes it easy if you are mechanically inclined. If you are new to auto repair, make sure you have someone who knows what they are doing check it for you, so that the repair will be safe and last. If you have a large library near you, its possible to find a Chiltons or other brand of repair manual that covers your Festiva timing belt repair procedure.

Check the your owners manual, if your lucky the original owner wrote it down when they bought the care. If not you will need to get the code from the dealer. You might even need to take the car to the dealer to have the radio unlocked. Some auto manufacturers have designed their radios to require a code whenever the battery is disconnected, in order to make the stereos worthless to theives, and thereby discourage theft. Ususally it just creates headaches for the owner of the vehicle.

The radio code may have been written down in the back pages in the manual, or if you have a great relationship with the ford dealer, they can get you the radio code for free a a small fee. If the dealer want's to charge you a crazy amount, try 0000 for a code and if that does not work try www.radio-code.com. There is a fee but not as much as the dealer, not sure but carfax.com may have you codes too.Good luck and hope this helps.

i need serial no

1998 Ford Festiva Workshop Repair Service Manual PDF Download You can go to this link. It's a website sells manuals and honestly, since I've bought one from them, I didn't need further help. I have chrysler 2002 and it almost broke down but I got a $9 manual, and it's perfectly fine now.
My personal recommendation!

you will probably have to remove the radio and look for the serial number on it i dont think you could even get that info out of the book for the vehicle some manufacturers use so many differenet kinds of equipment its not even funny

yes it was not avail. because its a aspire after 94. and you can pick up a ford stereo removal tool at local parts store, that is if you have 2 holes on both sides of the radio
