My audio radio does not receive radio stations. what could be the problem. All electrical components work just fine. cassette,CD player works fine but there is no band that will come in on the radio.

What I have done is checked to make sure everything is connected and everything is connected. It is in a Volvo semi truck, there are two antennas, I have replaced the one on the passenger side. it was broke off. However the radio did work just fine when antenna was broken off. one day radio was working, then it started to fade out over a few minutes time it faded out completely and hasn't worked since.

Is it a digital tuning? If it is does it auto search but just not find any stations? If this is the case then as J.D.Browning suggested it is an aerial problem! You said there are 2 aerials.....how are they connected to the radio?

Testimonial: "I don't know if bothe are connected, I suspect that one on the drivers side is for the audio radio, and the antenna on the passenger side might be for the CB radio. what i am getting from the replies that it very well could be an aerial problem. I have been told other mechanics that the radio was shot and that I needed to replace it. I am very satisfied with these replies that I have received and I will pursue a different approach. to replace the radio it would cost me $810.00 for the same kind. i will let you know the out come. Thanks Ron"

Ist im gonna assume that you have connected antenna to radio ! next this could be a problem with grounding , antennas have to have a good metal ground at there mounting point , and conversely the center of antenna cna not be aloud to touch the metal body or a "short" will develop , it's the same reason to get a radio to work(well) in a fiberglass body car (corvette) one has to run a large wide piece of flat ground cable around inside the entire car

    I have sound on the radio, when I turn it on I get a static sound. What I am not getting is a radio signal on any station.

    I also need to add that the radio is 8 years old, and has worked fine up until now.

Table 3: Compact Disc Features
Table 4: XM Advisory Messages
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
• Radio (UPO) - AM/FM Stereo, Cassette with CD and RDS .The complexity of the radio systems on these vehicle is mind blowing .

Your best bet take it to a GM dealer , has features you are unawear of .
DTC B1025, B1035, B1045, or B1055
When the radio is powered up, the radio supplies low level audio signals to the speakers. If the vehicle is equipped with an audio amplifier, the amplifier will boost the signal sent to the speakers.

Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
With the scan tool, monitor the DTC Information for DTC B1025.
Does the scan tool indicate that DTC B1025 is current?

Where can I find the fuses for the radio? The CD player stopped

the cd player and radio should be on the same system or as a whole, it should all be not working, there may have been a short inside the cd player, check all the fuses in the fuse box look for 10amp and 15 amps usually. being a newer car it is odd. you may need to take it in to toyota for a diagnostic check. good thing about the electrics in cars these days is their computers tell you everything.

2001 Ford Taurus Radio doesn't work but CD player does!

Does your car have an automatic raising and lowering antenna? If it does check your fuses for it. If not pull your radio out of the dash, and check to make sure that the antenna wire has not become lose or unplugged from the back.

Audio display says check cd

This may be a bit late to help, but I just had the same problem yesterday. Same car (2000 Monte Carlo SS), but mine is just the CD/radio stereo (no cassette). I was able to solve it by pulling the fuse for the radio (it's in the right-side panel) and letting it sit for a minute. After putting it back in, the CD player made the disc ejecting sound one time (no "check CD" message) and stayed off. And now it seems to be working fine. We'll see how long it lasts, though.
