Does your dash display a flashing "service soon" indicator?
Have you checked for fault codes?
You have a good battery, your ignition switch is powering up the vehicles dash board and the vehicle will start and operate normally....?
Any lights on the radio display?
Check for 12 volts on the radio power lead...no power? check for 12 volts across the accessory / radio position in the fuse box. No power but fuse is good...wiring issue in the harness.
Power across fused circuit no power to radio check radio's in line fuse...fuse good? ... radio bad or disconnected speaker wires.
Make sure all your vehicles grounding positions are clean and tight.
When you say your door locks don't work are your talking about the switch on the door or the remote fob?
Check your owners manual to check for any radio reset info.
when the battery dies or is removed , the anti-theft code of the radio kicks in and the unit will not work again until a special code for that radio is reinstalled
the code could be in the user manual in the radio use section ,or there are sites on the net that may have the code for you
Assuming the engine is not locked up, can you crank it in neutral ? There is a neutral safety switch in the circuit that could have failed. There are also two relays in the circuit that would need to be checked.
Check radio ground. It should be grounded to vehicle chasis behind the radio. Also check if power is on the wire at the rear of the radio, maybe a bad wire. These are good places to start troubleshooting. Good Luck.
Hook the battery up or try to jump-start backwards did we?
The ECU fuse gets it's power from the 140 Amp (or 180 Amp, depending on which engine your vehicle is equipped with) ALTERNATOR fuse in the engine compartment fuse block.
Check your fuses. The radio needs residual power to keep the memory alive. When you shut the vehicle off it isn't getting that power so the memory gets lost.
If you have recently changed the battery or lost power for any reason your radio may require an anti theft code, check your manual to see if this even applies to your vehicle. You may be able to find code behind the glove box in some cases. Or look up your vehicle online to see if any codes are posted. If the clock is working you have power.
Please check your owners manual for the location of the 10 amp fuse for the radio. On some models you have to reset the security feature on the radio/CD player for it to work.
The info below has been stated to work on a no go radio. I have not confirmed this procedure.
Remove the lower fuse box cover, with the power off, removed the 10 Amp fuse for the "Radio." the fuse may be good. Fuses are diagrammed in the owner's manual. With the fuse removed, start the car, turn the car off, replace the fuse and turn the key to "ACC" to see if the radio was "Reset."
Would the alarm cause the radio to malfunction? If your Anti Theft lock was activated check your owners manual under radio and check for a 4 number password. Sometimes it is taped to the upper part of the glove box. If you do not have the CODE you will need to take the vehicle to a dealership or a repair center. They use your vehicles vin number get the code.
the starter relay is on a module conected to the radio relay....the starter must be cold when starting or it will not start in this problem on this vehicle....in other words you have a bad starter relay.:)
