The DC current has to flow through the fuse to reach the radio. blown fuse = no power.

Liz Boyle is alive and well and a regular member of the airstaff on internet radio station Radio Free Phoenix (www.radiofreephoenix.com) and can be heard Monday thru Friday from 12noon to 4pm....

My 97 camaro had a similar problem with the radio and windows going off and on. I finally got a wiring diagram for the car. The body control module was the fault. The BCM controls the power supply to the radio and windows. I am not sure about the signals but the BCM may supply them as well. Hope this helps as it took me 8 months to find this fault.

Instead of buying a new module, you can probably fix yours by re-soldering the bad connection(s).

The BCM is under the dash on the passenger side. Remove the under dash cover and to the right you will see a small box with 2 plugs going into it. This is the BCM. Remove the plugs(push the tabs first) and disconnect the plugs. Remove the box and open it up. You will see a circuit board with several relays on the top side. The bad spot(s) are usually on the bottom side in the area where the relays are soldered. You will most likely need a magnifying glass to find the spot(s). Look for solder points that are cracked, loose or dull. (mine was cracked).

Use a soldering gun to heat up the points and apply new solder to them(it).

This should fix the problem. Plug the module back in and see if is fixed. If not, look again for a bad spot you may have missed.

If it works, then re-install the module and think about how much money you saved!

I sent an e-mail to Simone Seikaly asking that very question this morning... here's her response: "Well, the economy has hit us pretty hard (just like so many other industries) and JoJo was a victim of that. Thanks very much for writing to ask. Sincerely, Simone Seikaly" Bummer... those three, together, were hilarious! Cindi

You'll need the radio code to do this. When you reconnect the battery the radio will display the word 'code' when switched on. The code should have been recorded in the vehicle handbook by the dealer, you enter this four digit number by using the preset keys. If you get it wrong, you will probably have three attempts. The radio will then lock out for around an hour or so.

If you have lost the code you can visit the radio manufacturers website and ask for help - you will need to prove ownership of the vehicle, or a visit to the local Opel dealer may help.

First: Check the owner's manual. If you're lucky, sometimes the dealer or former owner will have written down the code number somewhere in the manual (inside the front cover or on the page that describes the radio operation are favorite places). Also check the interior of the glove compartment - sometimes the dealer will affix a sticker containing the serial number here, too. IF NOT: You will need to retrieve the radio serial number. On SOME radios you can do this by holding down both the number 1 and the number 6 buttons simultaneously as you turn on the radio. If you have one of those radios, the serial number will appear in the tuning window when you turn it on. IF NOT: You will need to loosen the radio and slide it far enough out of the dashboard in order to get the serial number off the plate that is affixed either on the back, or the bottom, of the radio case. When you have gotten the serial number - either call the Honda Customer Service 800 number, or stop by your local Honda dealer and give them the serial number and they should be able to give you the anti-theft security code for your radio. WRITE IT DOWN SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU WON"T FORGET IT! This will happen every time the battery is disconnected or goes dead.

Frequency = speed/wavelength = 3 x 108 / 3.25 = 92.3 MHz.

In the US, that frequency is in the commercial FM broadcast band (88 - 108 MHz).

There are many FM stations, in many different cities, on that frequency.

Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency)

= (3 x 108) / (1.08 x 106)

= 277.8 meters (rounded)

Happy listening in Dallas.

"KFI AM 640 Radio" is broadcast to Los Angeles, California and Orange County, California. However, the official Facebook page notes their location to be in Burbank, California.

Spirit FM - UK radio station - was created on 1996-04-21.

In order to clear the radio code "ERR-3" in a Honda Accord, you simply open the hood and remove the radio fuse (there are two of them so remove the one closest to the car window) for about 10-15 seconds, put it back in and close the box, crank up the car and enter the vehicles radio code(this is usually located on a white card when you first purchase the vehicle or possibly in your glove compartment in the manual), make sure you enter the code correctly, and then the error will be removed and you can start playing music in your car!

If you do not have the code then go to the Honda Owners website and register your Accord. After you register it you can get the code for free.

Frequency = speed/wavelength = 300,000,000/2 = 150,000,000 = 150 MHz.

(The ham-radio band from 144 to 148 MHz is usually called the "two-meter band".)

XM radios use signals transmitted by satellites in order to broadcast. A signal is broadcast from the ground station and sent to one of two XM satellites that then are able to broadcast the signal to all the receivers owned by XM customers on the ground. The satellites take the signal they are sent, which is basically a mass of encoded data, and descramble the audio as well as the encrypted information with it which includes such things as the song title, artist, and genre in order to send them to the personal receivers in the correct format.

Sounds like a loose ground wire. Vibrations of the vehicle cause intermittent service interruptions.

There are 2 short, flat metal tabs that came with your car, that you slide into the two slots on the front of the radio. This will trigger the release, and the radio will slide straight out.

try a government aviation publication called an "airport facilities directory."

i have a 2004 satrun vue with a 6 CD changer. i would like to change the time on the radio. how do i do that?

The first 'answer' immediately proceeding this paragraph is a question that is easily answered by reading the owner's manual and will depend on if your radio has RDS or not. (should be a separate question)

I just removed the radio on a 2004 Saturn Vue (automatic transmission, bucket seats, center floor console) [Assuming your radio has the theft deterrent cover...] The dashboard panel that covers your radio is held in place by push-in clips that are integrated into the covers. You can probably loosen these clips by starting at a bottom corner below the shift lever. I assumed this wouldn't be possible and partially removed the 2 lower side panels that cover the two sides of the transmission and environmental controls portion of the dashboard. These panels are attached with Phillips head screws and push-in fasteners. These 2 panels also have screws holding them together directly below the shift lever. I did not remove the bottom screw (due to lack of space to for a screw driver) and was still able to acces the covers for the shift lever and radio/environmental control areas.

After loosening and removing the center covers, the radio can be removed by firmly grabbing the top and bottom of the radio unit and pulling it straight out (only partially) toward the center of your vehicle. Once you have the unit pulled out to the point where the back clears the dashboard housing you will need to unplug the wires. There will be several wire sets. Mine had one power cable that was easy to pull out and a ground wire (green) that slid off of the small knife-post on the back right of the radio. The other 2 connectors were wire bundles that had plastic clips. You should have to squeeze the tab connectors as you are pulling these clips to remove them. Once all your wires are disconnected, remove the radio the rest of the way. If you are replacing the radio, you will need to save the rail mounts on the side of your old radio and install them on your new radio. Pay attention to which wire bundle cam from where and what the orientation is while you are trying to plug them back in.

When you have everything reassembled and you are putting your dashboard panels, you may have to apply some force to get some of the clips to set - make sure everything is lined up properly and nothing (wire, edge of plastic, whatever) is not in the gap you are trying to close before you 'thump' the panel back in to place.

Good luck.

I also dismantled my 6-disk changer and re-built it while I was doing this and my whole operation from start to finish was about 4 hours. I had no experience at all with removing a radio from a vehicle when I started, but had pulled off several interior panels for other reasons. If you're unsure of what you're doing, take pictures as you go and keep track of which screw came from where. (helps when you're putting things back together)

If the display is out, but the radio operates otherwise, the radio has failed.

I believe there are four screws. Two under the two air vents in the dash and two up in the cubby hold under the cig lighter and ashtray

you need the special keys that slide down the side of the radio to unlock it from its casing, you can get them from halfords, there are many different type of keys so be sure you get the correct ones once you insert the keys into the radio it should slide out of its casing with a gentle tug, and you can then unclip the wiring loom and aerial

Radio waves can be blocked (reflected) or attenuated (partially reflected or absorbed) by anything that conducts electricity. A thin sheet of aluminum can completely block (reflect) radio waves. They simply cannot penetrate it. Salt water (as in the ocean) permits radio waves to penetrate only a very short distance. Similarly, living plant material contains water and dissolved ions (the plant's "blood" or the plants food, if you want to look at it that way). This makes the plant something of a "conductor" of electricity. Now to the nut inside the shell of this answer. When radio waves (electromagnetic energy) encounter a conductor, something happens. The frequency of the radio waves, their amplitude, and the "nature" of the conductor will result in a varying degree of interaction. What happens is that the radio waves stimulate microcurrents within the conductive material (the foil, the salt water, the plant with its moisture and ions, whatever). This interaction reflects or absorbs the energy (to a greater or lesser degree) of the incoming radio wave. The microcurrents don't destroy plant tissues because the power contained in the radio wave is very low (microvolts per meter, and usually less). Certainly if a plant is "right on top" of an electromagnetic source, it will take some heat from the radiated energy. But as to the effect of "regular" radio waves, the damage is not noticable, and the signal will be damped or attenuated by interaction with the plant.
