The problem with having your interior cleaned by someone other than yourself is that the, someone other, just happens to spray "everything" in site to make the job easier and look cleaner. Unfortunately electrical buttons were included in the spraying frenzy and that is a no no. All sorts of problems happens when you spray these buttons including window buttons and it sounds allot like your problem.
I was looking for help for you and noticed YOU posted this. Seems everyone claims it is the fuse. Try checking it with a meter. I'll bring one Saturday.
While the normal thing that happens with an incorrect jump is the voltage regulator in the alternator being blown up, you would have way more indications than just the sound not working if it was bad.
First make sure the volume is turned up and the radio is on. If those are both in the right positions, then see if you can find other things not working correctly - clock; etc. If everything seems normal, check the fuses for the radio, then check the output of the radio.
They more than likely shorted out your 100a link fuse by grounding out your alt cable while replacing it. Sounds like they didn't disconnect the battery before hand. Your car has an idle program which it re-learns every time you lose power, or in your case, turn off the switch. You need to replace this fuse or your car will not charge.
If your clock doesn't work, it is probably because there is an internal fault within the clock module, itself. This is a common problem in many of the Japanese models - the Toyota Matrix included. The clock may be intermittent or have a dead disply.
If your Matrix clock is dead or intermittent, you can remove it yourself and have it professionally refurbished by Dr. Clock. He offers a lifetime warranty and does top-notch work.
YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE MINIATURE BULB THAT LITES UP THE DISPLAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE RADIO FROM THE CAR AND THEN REMOVE THE TOP SHEET METAL COVER ON THE RADIO, YOU WILL SEE THE BULB SOCKET PLUGGED INTO THE BACK OF THE DISPLAY.
