Could be a disconnected wire, bad ground, a break in the wire (inside the insulation). Are they one and the same (a radio with a clock on it)? Could be the component died (bad transistor, diode, faulty soldering, etc).
I would suggest a Sony clock radio. You can get this for a very cheap price of 19 to 20 dollars. And it isn't to complicated it is just a very simple clock radio. I think it will be great for your kids.
about $20
No. The only thing would be the clock and radio.
a picture of the radio would be helpful
The best clock radio with a radio alarm is a SonyDual Alarm Clock ( ICFC273). Check it out its features are amazing. You would be able to purchase this amazing product at a Best Buy near you. Wake up to your favorite station or just go to best buy, walmart, target, or kmart.
Generally, it would cost the same as getting satellite radio for your car.
The main reason you would use a clock radio would be to be awoken at a specific time. Having the radio is useful for people who love to fall asleep or wake up to the sound of music instead of a loud beep. Having the telephone attached saves on the amount of plugs needed.
I would start with the fuse panel.
Yes. If you remove the radio, the clock will simply show the current time and date. Beware, though, when I changed my radio, the clock's software went crazy and it stopped updating the clock. That means that when I turned the car on, it would show me the correct time, but then it wouldn't advance until I turned the car off and on again. This was fixed by unplugging the battery thereby resetting the clock's software.
An Ipod dock with alarm clock would fit in well with modern decor. anonymous@oola.com
Turn your car on, so that the radio can be turned on and off. Then turn your radio off. After is it off, push the clock button and while holding clock, use seek to change the hour and tune to change the minutes.
According to my uncle who is James Reynolds son."the alarm quit working on his wind up clock... so he rigged the key on the back of the clock to the volume knob on the radio. when the alarm started going off, the key would spin around and turn the volume up on the radio."
