If you disconnect the battery (or the battery is very low and a relay will automatically disconnect the battery) you need to input the code for the radio.
Maybe you battery is too old or too discharged.
the radio will still work for a few minutes then it will display code. there will be 4 lines that will appear on the screen, press 1 (2X) and 1 will appear on the first line, press 2 (2X) and another 1 will appear, press 3(2X) and another 1 will appear, press 4 (2X) then the screen will display good. that's it. baste
If the dashboard dimmer switch works with the other dash lights, the fault is in the radio unit itself.
what about it//how do you get the radio numerals to show up on the display. on my car it is not clear and i can't tell what station is on playing. how do you fix this//
I don't believe you can display both the radio station and the clock at the same time. With the radio on push the "CLK" button, that will display the time and I believe when you change radio stations it will display the station # temporarily before returning to the clock display.
Clear Sky Radio was created in 2006.
The wiring is wrong. Same thing happened to me and I replaced a relay cluster and fixed the wiring it's most likely the yellow wire or memory.
Replace the radio.
I have problem with my radio display. All digits show just a half numeric ?
Switch on the radio and hold down the "BAND" button for at least three seconds and the word "code" will appear in the display. Now just enter the code that you have been given.
have radio replaced or repaired
Setting the Time Press and hold the HR or MN buttons for two seconds. The clock symbol will appear on the display. Then press and hold HR until the correct hour appears on the display. AM or PM will appear for morning or evening hours. Press and hold MN until the correct minute appears on the display. The time can be set with the ignition on or off. To synchronize the time with an FM station broadcasting Radio Data System (RDS) information, press and hold HR and MN at the same time for two seconds until UPDATED and the clock symbol appear on the display. If the time is not available from the station, NO UPDAT will appear on the display. RDS time is broadcast once a minute. After tuning to an RDS broadcast station, it may take a few minutes for the time to update.
The radio display is usually tied to the dash board lights. As you raise or lower the illumination on the dash, the radio lights should change. During the day (with your headlights off), the radio display is at full brightness so it is easier to read in daylight.
