Look for a fuse under the hood in main fuse box labeled rear view. Replace it and should fix problem unless you have a short.

SOURCE: Subaru Tribeca 2006; the radio

This is obviously an elctrical issue, but where to start...firstly, have you had any work done recently to the car, any electrical work ???? How long has the stereo been in the vehicle ???? Have you or anybody else checked anything out on this vehicle yet, have you taken it to a repair shop etc ????.......Just to give me an idea of what might be the problem, narrowing it down so to speak...

My radio, car alarm, interior lights do not work on my 2006 subaru tribeca

The solution for the interior lights temp gauge etc. not working is the fuse under the hood as mentioned above.
As for the clock resetting, your battery is probably about to go. The tribeca turns off power to the vehicle if voltage drops below a certain level to save enough power to start back up. This causes the clock to lose memory.

2006 Tribeca radio will not work, and the climate control lights do not illuminate. Checked every fuse with no problems.

The culprit fuse was under the hood - 20 amp fuse called "backup". Discovered nice cache of spare fuses and fuse puller tool in the under the hood fuse box.

Radio lights

Try to adjust dash lights brighter. FOr some reason the radio blacks out even when the lights are dimmed a bit. Try turning the dash lights a bit brighter and see if you can see the radio. HAve a great day.
