Most car radios have a fuse on the back where the plugs are. Check the fuse to see if it was blown or smell around the car radio you might catch a burnt smell also

The battery in my Motorola two way radio won't charge. What do I have to do to replace a two-way radio battery?

Just contact Motorola. They should be able to tell you where to go to get a new two-way radio battery or help you get your old one to charge. Batteries.com will have the two way radio battery that you need. They have a huge variety and will be cheaper than getting one from Motorola.

Why do you measure the winding resistance with a multimeter?

Actually, measuring winding resistance with a multimeter is an iffy situation at best. This is because the multimeter will not tell you if one of the turns is shorted, causing Q to drastically suffer, it will really only tell you if the winding is open, or if it is shorted to something it should not be shorted to, such as the frame. This is especially true for larger windings, in larger transformers and motors, because their DC resistance is so close to zero that you might not be able to tell if they are shorted or normal. Using a multimeter is a good start, to make sure that basics are covered, and it might tell you if the winding is dead shorted, but you need to know for sure what the expected DC resistance is, and you need to know that you multimeter is very good in the low Ohms scale.

With the doors closed and the ket removed and everything off , remove the negative from the battery , there should be no spark as you remove the negative cablre, if there is , keep checking where your power is going GOOD LUCK ! ,


What is the radio code for a 1999 Volkswagen Jetta?

Two solutions for you depending on radio model. With the VIN of your VW car and the serial of the radio in hand - call a VW dealership service dept. They should be able to tell you code free of charge. (My car was purchased used and when the battery was changed the radio locked itself into SAFE mode. I pulled the radio out (with radio tools purchased at the local CT for $8), got the serial and called a random VW place and they gave it to me.) There is also a post I saw on a VW forum that if the radio is a Monsoon that the last 4 digits of the serial off the radio IS the code. I'm about to test that theory later this week. Hope one of the two work for you :)
