Microphone or output circuit problem are most likely---The 25 is a fairly trouble free radio.

The microphone is the most common issue--broken wires inside the plug connection or a broken wire in the cable up to the microphone head.

Car won't Crank/start

With a voltage meter see how many volts are at the starter terminal. If not 12+ volts you have a bad connection. Check connection at the starter solenoid. Does it have 12+volts? Short the solenoid. Does it put voltage to the starter?

2008 GMC Acadia radio won't turn on

The radio and BCM needs read for codes. No reason for the radio not to work after a FOB program. Just a guess, but if the battery power was to low, radio is locked out.

04 expedition radio won't turn off after I take

Does it turn off when you open the driver side door? If so, that's normal. My car also keeps the radio on when the key is taken out of the ignition until I open the driver side door. If the driver side door is not opened then the radio will only stay on for 8 or 10 minutes though. If it's not turning off ever, even when you open the door, then I don't know what's wrong with it.
Cheers!

Why is it when i turn the key foward radio don't work and truck won't fire but when you turn the key backwards the radio comes on

You don't say what kind of vehicle we are talking about, but it is safe to assume your ignition switch needs to be replaced.

I have a problem with radio gxt1050, it was functioning correctly, but now I turn on it and the keys not response, no PTT button, but I can hear calls from other radios... tanks


  • It takes a lot more power to transmit than it does to receive. So it is possible to listen but not be able to talk. Make sure that the batteries are charged and that the batteries are holding a charge. When batteries begin to fail they won't hold a charge for long at all.
