radio dont work
my radio stopped working after i took it out to check something. everythings hooked up all the lights work and the heat works but you can change it to cold and none of the climate control buttons work. the radio dont turn on and the things that tells you the time and temp isnt on either.. someone help!!!!:banghead:
|
something was not hooked up or you have burned a fuse.....
|
i checked all the fuses and everything
|
then you shorted the unit taking it out or putting it back in and you need a new one
|
if thats the case then ill just get a metra kit lol
but would everything else still work like the heat works but you cant change it? |
Yes, I was there. The center console will light up when headlights are on. the cd player will click when you hit the eject button. All the wires were connected(we believe). Only the fan controller would work. The hazards work as well. The LCD display w/ time and temp will not illuminate words just glow red.

How many times to you guys pull it back out and try to reconnect it?
A buddy of mine soldered my heater control for me, and when we put it back together, we got the same thing. We just took it back apart, disconnected everything and reconnected everything to make sure it was all tight... been working fine ever since. I bet something just doesn't have a good connection. |
i took it apart like 5 times disconnected the battery the main fuse, everything!! maybe something just isnt still secure
|
Could be that one plug that i thought was broken.
|
its not boken lmao

the radio faceplate is very delicate and placed near the edges, one small hairline fracture of the metal conductors on any of the boards in there is enough to cause chaos within the whole panel, from the display to the a/c controls. the hazards work because theyre on a different circuit.
at least thats the most typical thing i see, most users have a tendency to pry on the radio when you're really supposed to only grab the bottom lip with both hands, wiggle and apply pressure. People instead insert a screwdriver in the side to "pop" it out and either scratch or break a piece of the board off, even a tiny piece *can* do damage. Especially when they dont pull out the invisible 10mm first, cause they pry extra hard and it doesn't budge. seen it way too often, and its not vehicle defect so no warranty either. The likely scenario either way is something large is broke lol, or if youre lucky a popped fuse that prevented something large from shorting. guess thats rather vague tho... kevin. |
yup thats exactly the problem... so basically id have to buy a new radio?
|
oh snap. that is very very informative....thanks for posting. Informative because that's probably what I did......balls.
