Most newer cars have a feature that if power is interrupted to the radio (blown fuse, battery disconnect) it will cease to function without the insertion of a reset code. This code is usually on a card in the owner's information package. IT is intended as an anti-theft precaution, since without the unique code, the radio is worthless. If you don't know the code, or didn't receive it, a dealership can usually provide it if you can give them the serial number of the radio. This will, unfortunately, usually involve the removal of the radio to obtain.

My battery is every morning empty. Changed the dynamo, battery, steering contact. After removing the fuse of the radio / amplifier, battery keeps on level. Unplugging amplifier with fuse in results in low...

Have battery/alternator checked. Really clean connectors and battery posts even if they look ok. If battery is ok have it slowly recharged for 12-24 hrs. Alternators are not designed to recharged an empty battery but just to maintain the full charge. I large amp and sound system demands a big battery and heavy duty alternator.

1999 Jetta change battery, radio dead

Actually pull out the radio fuse for 15 seconds and then re-install. Mine usta just quit working once in a great while, and this was the fix. Radio fuse #42 if this is a "New Jetta A4 body" or fuse # 22 on an older "A3 body style"

When radio is plugged in only the gfi outlets work not the radio.

Mines similar, outlets work but radio will only work on battery. Radio will not work on mains only. Charger works at same time so ok. SORTED IT TONIGHT. Inside the charger inside the box there is a fuse (240v 2A) I think, tiny radio fuse. Changed that tonight and radio now works on mains only or battery. Very awkwark job but better than watching a load of cr** on tv. Hope this helps someone.

Saturn vue 2004 repalced battery

If it is like most Saturns if you had the radio or any eletrical equipment on when you changed the battery it blows the fuse. It will also blow the fuse to your turn signals or wipers if they are on.
