I'm sorry to say, but you damaged the radios power supply. You blew out a capacitor or a solid state device. These radios cannot take even an instant reversal of power, as it takes micro seconds to blow something solid state out. This radio, you will probably have to replace. Good Luck

    but does the rest of the radio? No display. No sound.

  • Anonymous Jul 01, 2007

    It does not have to smell or burn my friend, transistors and IC's can pop in an instant, and without warning. You will need to have this looked at by a pro I'm fraid, unless you know how to trouble shoot solid state printed circuit boards. But like I said before, most of the time these auto radios are not worth repairing. The cost for labor and parts make these radios throw aways.

    If you live near an ABC warehouse, or a circuit city, a lot of those stores have Sony, or Pioneer, and JVC and even a lot of them will instal the unit for you as part of the cost of the radio. You should be able to get one for les then 200 bucks

Have a delcotron alternator ,what to know where no.1 terminal and no.2terminal wire goes it is on my 1946 cj2a jeep my amp hand does not show a charge had alternator checked out and is ok

  • Use a wrench to remove the negative and positive battery cables: They are clearly labeled "+" and "-." Always remove the negative cable first, as this isolates the power to the metal parts of your car. Tuck the cables away from the battery as you don't want them to accidentally touch a battery terminal when you're wiring your alternator.

  • 3

    Locate the alternator terminals. There are two: one marked "live," "pos" or "+" and the other marked "neg," "field" or "-."

  • 4

    Locate the two cables. The positive (red) cable goes to your battery via a wire loom or harness. The negative (black) cable attaches to a metal part of your car.

  • 5

    Check how the cables attach to the alternator terminals. Some connect using eyelets that hook over the terminal and tighten with a bolt; others connect by inserting the wire under the terminal and tightening a bolt.

  • 6

    Loosen the two bolts using a suitable-sized wrench or, if the cables connect using eyelets, remove the bolts.

  • 7

    Insert the exposed end of the negative (black) cable under the loosened bolt on the negative terminal of the alternator, then tighten the bolt. If the cable has an eyelet, hook it over the terminal and screw the bolt back in place and tighten using a wrench.

  • 8

    Insert the exposed end of the positive (red) cable under the loosened bolt on the positive terminal of the alternator, then tighten the bolt. If the cable has an eyelet, hook it over the terminal and screw the bolt back in place and tighten using a wrench.

  • 9

    Replace the positive battery cable on the positive battery terminal using a wrench. Replace the negative battery cable on the negative battery terminal.

    HOW CAN I UNLOCK THE RADIO ON AN ACURA 3.2 CL TYPE S

    Try this:
    > Disconnect the battery cables: Negative {black} cable first, then Positive{red}.
    > Touch and hold the metal ends of the cables together (hold together so they make constant contact) for at least 30 seconds.
    > Reconnect cables to battery: Positive first, then Negative.
    > Then try entering the code.

    Sometimes the radio will lock (especially if the code has been typed in wrong several times) and this is a way to manually unlock it.

    Connect battery cables in 2004 Ford Expedition

    Are you trying to jump it? Or are you replacing the cables entirely? If replacing them, (Read all my instructions for the cautions involved) then unscrew the negative post cable first and then your positive side from your battery. Be careful not to touch them together while your are taking the cables apart. Once the battery is not connected, find the easiest cable to replace first, I think it will be the negative. Do not connect the battery yet!!!!, second the red cable indicating the hot cable will be next. That cable might be longer because on fords, unless I am mistaken should be connected to the starter or on fords an external starter solenoid. Connect that. Once you have replaced both cables, it's time to connect the red cable to the battery. Be careful that the negative side cable is not touching the ground or vehicle because you will see a shocking spark. Once that is connected it's time for the negative side to be connected to the battery black side. The battery has positive indicators (+) and negative indicators (-) may be color coded also + (red) - (black). DO NOT CROSS THEM BECAUSE THE CHARGE MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO BLOW THE BATTERY ( DANGER) I cannot stress this enough. You do not want to be around when a battery blows. They are dangerous. Use caution ok. Don't be that person that goes to the hospital with burns from acid.

    My 1994 lincoln towncar wont start. it started up and i drove it to the gas station to get gas. and when i went to start it it did nothing. whats wrong. the battery was ok.

    There is one small ignition wire that is connected to the solenoid on top of the starter. It slips on and can lose it's connection at any time. Sometimes you can just touch it and it will start working again. The connection needs to be tightened.

    My 1994 Jeep Cherpkee Sport will not turn over when I turn the key. All systems are OK. The battery charges and lights and radio are fine. When I turn the key nothing happens. What could be the problem?

    Bad starter or starter Solenoid. Grounded wire between the solenoid and battery or actually a bad battery. I've had batteries that were bad where everything worked until you went to start teh engine then it wouldn't turn over. There are 2 parts to the battery, 1 is voltage which runs the radio, windows, lights and such the other is Amperage which is needed to get the started to work. You can have good voltage but no amperage due to a dead cell. Disconnect the Negative battery terminal, connect jumper cables to a goo running vehicle, connect the positive cable to teh positive terminal and the negative clamp to the negative cable, this take your battery out of the loop, then try and start the vehicle. If the vehicle starts it's your battery if it doesn't then it is most likely your starter or Solenoid.

    Elecrtial problem

    Sounds like a newer 5 series. The SZL module located in the steering column has failed. Most common indication of this failure is the wipers being stuck on. Unit will need to be coded by a professional. Just for fun you can try a memory dump: remove negative battery cable and then positive battery cable and touch them together for 30 minutes then reconnect everything and hope for the best. If the cables are too short to reach each other slide a screwdriver in through the negative opening and into the positive opening. MAKE SURE NEGATIVE CABLE DOESN'T TOUCH THE POSITIVE CABLE WHILE IT IS CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE.

    Replacing the battery in a 1999 Lexus LX470

    There are a few thing's, one thing is to not accidentally touch the positive terminal with the negative battery cable or touch the negative terminal with the positive battery cable when your removing or installing the battery, if one of the cable's do touch the other post it may blow some fuse's, on some vehicles with radio anti theft systems when you remove the battery the radio will lock out, if you don't have the code you'll have to take it to a service dealer to have them reset it, other than that it's pretty much straight forward. good luck.
