Hi fasterboatma, Your computer stats are gone, the computer was reset when battery was disconnected, your radio is in theft mode, the radio is waiting on a code to be entered. The reason it does this is so if the radio was stolen it cant be used without the code. Look in your owners manual and see if the code is recorded there, if not call a local dealer and they can look it up, they will usually do it for free, if not you will have to take the front bezel off and see if you can see the code printed on the top of the radio. Let me know if I can assist further and please rate this solution. lone99star

The radio will not power off even when the car is off. This has cause the battery to be replaced twice.

What fuse are or did you remove for the radio ? F2.12 5amp in the central junction box under the dash ? Test the accessory relay in the central junction box or try a new one ! The fuse F2.12 5amp is for radio only , nothing else ! An you can't turn it off with switch on the radio ?

The accessory relay powers up fuse F2.8 -( GEM ) - generic electronic module , instrument cluster .

an F2.14 - cigar lighter up front an fuse an the fuse F2.12 I mentioned above an F2.25 - power for windows !

try to disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes. hook it back up and make sure you have the positive and negative wires on the right terminal. wrong way can short and burn your entire electrical harness. Check the fuses.

2002 dodge stratus...radio does not work, clock is on and working, but no sound. instaled another factory radio same problem. installed aftermarket radio same problem. fuses checked, all good.

There is more than one fuse for the radio. I know that one controls the power and there is also one for the memory and sometimes they have a third fuse as well. Take a look in your owners manual for the location of the fuses. \hope this helps

Replaced battery, no power to radio now, help!

Most radios have a fuse in main fuse panel and a fuse on the rear of the unit. It is a common problem for the one on the radio itself

Nav and Radio wont work on 2002 STS after battery was replaced, tried removing all related fuses, they are fine. Master code isn't resetting. Is there a way to do this manually?

The Radio has a hot feed directly from fuse #25 in under left side dash near kick panel fuse box .. also check fuses #14 and #9 .. it is not controlled by any computer module, it could be a burnt out wire ?
266999_hyun_3.jpg

The interior lights and door locks/alarm are controlled by the ETAC module .. which also gets its hot feed from fuse # 25 .. but the ETAC module controls lots of other devices including Wiper/defogger/fog light/door warning switch/chime bells etc. etc. and these are working ? it is possible the ETAC module is damaged internally
