My wife has a 2008 Kia Rio and the radio isn't working. The lights all come on and the stations are showing on the screen when the car turns on but you hear a pop sound come out of the speakers/somewhere. After that you don't hear anything. Thoughts on how to fix the problem?

Could be the lamp socket is bad. Try and new headlight lamp, if it still doesn't light, replace the socket.

Hello Jacqueline Dougan,

Sorry about that ROBOTIC "jamessizer" SPAM you got
in lieu of a 1/2 FAST answer.

Your FREE manual is available on-Line... (search)
2008 kia rio owners manual, on Page 3-80.

Has about 20 pages of info... found no RESET...
(unless you can negotiate things back to ENGLISH from Korean... you might want to give it some deeper thought
(presuming you ever found a RESET)..

Station setting is just as simple as tuning one in... pressing and holding for 8 seconds.

Hope this helps

You didn't mention if one door or all doors.
If only one door then most likely that door switch.
if none of the doors will make it come on, the see if you have a dome light control as my Kia can be set for all from switch near mirror.
Not thinking a fuse since it will turn on manually.

HI code is given by dealers on radio folder in service books .if not visit your KIA dealership with vehicle registration papers,they will assist.

You are right... You will need to check your fuses. You can buy a fuse puller and pull each one out to check to see if the metal bar is separated or you can often times just tell by looking at it. Most interior fuses is on drivers side .

Will you please check the fuse box and check if there's is a busted fuse..Thanks

Pull out your console (very carefully with a flathead screwdriver) it just pops off, and check your wire connections leading to your radio. you may take it out with a screwdirver and a bit of a yank but be careful, its really not that hard, it all just snaps into place, there are a lot of wires back there one may just be loose

Your not working on a computer
Your playing with a car radio
Remove it
Take it to a car radio repair shop

Go to the radio station that you want, once there, push any of the numbered buttons and hold it there for a couple of seconds. That should set it.
