Turn the key into position "1" and turn on the radio (of course it will not be functioning but must be on power).

If your radio has anti-theft system you will have to go to the dealer and get the accss code to reactivate the radio if you dont have the code already. GM vehicles with anti-theft radios will lock when power is lost to the system if the radio is not turned off prior to battery disconnect or dying.

I have the code to unlock the but it in the off position and i can't enter the code how do i reset the radio

. Every time you disconnect the battery means that the radio thinks some one is stealing it so the anti theft code kicks in. Next turn on the ignition to accessories or the run position and either turn the volume knob or push it in . The radio dial will light up and ask for a code . Enter that code as per the instructions and then the radio will work. If the radio dial doesn't light up check for fuse and wiring problems

How do you clear codes for 2004 saturn ion

Clear the codes AFTER a repair was made & the light
stayed on ?

I would purchase an inexpensive $60.00 code reader &
use that.

If you start disconnecting batteries on every vehicle you
do or will own,then bad things happen.

The radio won't work,the car won't start,etc

If you have service manuals to learn your vehicles systems,
then you can eventually know what the results will be

Again,if you fixed nothing,then the light is going to stay on
or come back

My radio won't turn on. It's displaying a code: C O D. How do I fix that? I have a 2004 Suzuki Forenza

i had this same problem a few months ago when i replaced the battery. I googled a list of codes for the 04 suzuki forenza and printed off the entire list. Tried each code & the 10th code worked and radio has been playing since then

Well the raidio was asking for a code so without the code i started pushing number so then i went to bmw and recieved the code the dealer said to keep the ignition on for a hour then it will ask for code...

Ignition on and the radio on as well for the hour? Not many 97 BMWs still have their original radios still working, but I have never heard of one failing that way,

Volvo radio locked on 'off' despite leaving it run for 1 hour

take the battery posts off. by disconnecting the battery for a good 15 min you will wipe the residual memory on the computer then plug back in and try again. hope this helps
