Car radio original radio was put back into car and now it won't work

check the ground leg to your engine.. it runs off the neg. battery terminal. will connect to frame and engine.. pull it off, wire brush it put it back.. you radio will work, 'cause it draws much less current, and is grounded in dash.

Be sure to check fuses. You may have a blown fuse. If have the owner's manual, check for fuse block diagram and check for one listed as radio. If fuse is at fault, may have loose wire that caused it to blow.

I am having the same issue! How did you resolve your problem?! ANY advise would be greatly appreciated!

There are 3 fuse boxes on that car. One in the console in the storge area and one under each kick panel left and right. is it getting power at all? if it turns on but needs a code, the original code can be found on the back of the stereo.

To put the original back in just hope the harness behind the radio wasant cut into. If its not it should just plug right in and mount back up in the stock location.

as far as the cd changer. if you would want to add one. you would need to find the changer, harness and headunit from a model with one.

You likely blew a fuse for your lights. Here is a wiring diagram for the original radio.

I am sure that the radio fuse was checked to see if power is actually going to the radio? The next thing to check is the multipin plug on the back of the radio. If it was removed sometimes the pins get bent when plugged back in. Make sure all pins are clean and straight. Try to disconnect wires that were changed to install the amp and put everything back to original and see if the radio works. The amp should have a direct connection to the battery with its on fuse correct? Depending on the amp if new or used may have internal problems and will have to be sent back to the manufacturer for repair. Hopefully when the wiring is put back to normal in the vehicle the radio should work, unless the amp load has damaged the output transistors to the original radio. Good luck.
