radio help

[Peter A. Neenan]

My 94 EX has one of those cassette radios with an anti-theft device. When I
let the battery run down, the power was disconnected to the radio.


In an effort to get the radio to work again, I tried following the
instructions in the owners manual. I turned the dial on, tried to punch in
each of the numbers on the card provided by using the 1-6 station selector
numbers on the radio. Nothing happened. Is there something else I should
be doing? I thought I would ask before bringing the car to the dealership
for service.

Thanks

Peter, You didn't mention that the word 'CODE' was displayed. If it
wasn't there, you didn't need to enter anything. If the radio is playing
DEAD, check the fuses in the under-hood and internal fuse boxes.

Regarding stage performances: When everyone else has finished playing,
you should not play any notes you have left over. -

Thanks, Curly! Unfortunately, it did say CODE on the display.

Peter,

Maybe you've got some soft drink gumming up one of the buttons. If you
can't hear them all click, then they can't be used for code entry. If
you don't get the code entered within three tries, just leave the
ignition on for one hour... then try again.

If I had a sticky button, (and didn't have the time/skill to tear the
front end of the radio apart), I'd use a Q-tip dunked in HOT water to
moisten / dissolve the Pepsi, then try to enter the CODE. Don't spray
anything into the front of the buttons, especailly not something caustic
like Fantastic. :-(
