Either you blew a fuse ... or that radio is an anti-theft type and requires a code to activate it.

Starting problem (see details), on 1998 Town & Country.

Check your battery cables and starter cables especially the connectors and bolts under the hood. The bolts and connections could be loose or corroded. Check the connections near the battery and on the battery since many times mechanics mess with these the most. My guess is something is loose if it starts well most times, but fails occasionally. Did you look for blinky codes or DTCs? A '47' (or P0562) could mean a bad battery or alternator, and a '12' (or P1684) could indicate intermittent connections. Do the dome lights dim or stay well lit when the clicking is heard during cranking? If so, then the issue is most likely near the battery and if not then the issue is more likely near the starter. Good luck. There are a lot of wires under the hood.

My radio /cd player won't allow me to put the code in

If the wrong code has been entered too many times the radio is likely to be permanently blocked.

Each time a code is entered wrongly or the wrong code is used there will be a waiting time before the code can be tried again and each time that waiting time will be longer; up to several hours.

It is important to enter the code and activate the radio precisely so check the procedure in the manual before starting then if the code won't go in assume you have the wrong code.
The correct code can be purchased from the dealer or various internet sites offer "find your code" services. Alternatively it is possible to have the radio re-coded or decoded. Bear in mind the radio could be permanently blocked and effectively useless..

THX navigation system in 2007 Lincoln MKX

Could be mute controls for the telephone. The voice for the Navigation is adjusted separately from the radio volume. If any work was done on the vehicle, like a battery disconnect, then radio controls may need to be reset.

You need to toggle through the Menu to things like screen brightness for the Navigation.

You also have a speed sensitive radio and the volume controls could be affected by these settings.

My renault kangoo van radio/cd player has stopped working. It was when the weather got below -10. No work has been done to te van. Any suggestions?

If the battery went dead or the radio lost power at any time you will need to re-enter the code for it to work again. If this is not the case check the fuse for it as it may have blown in which case you will be required to enter the radio code after replacing the fuse.

I changed my battery on my Ody Honda 2007 and the radio and clock are not working how do I correct this problem

I have 2002 Honda Ody and went thru battery hell and cost of replacing new batteries just to find out that the cheap radio CD player was shorting and rappidly draining all the batteries. The solution for me was install a $120.00 Alpine radio and replace all stock speakers with matching Alpine speakers. It will turn your Van into (The Alpine Room ) This stops the battery problem and the quaility of the sound system makes you forget the hell you went thru and also not hate Honda so much for putting the cheapest radio they could find in a $ 32,000 dollar vehicle.

Chrysler Voyager 2003 battery went dead now radio won't even turn on, clock doesn't work

i assume you put a new battery in,van runs but no radio or clock, check all your fuses first,and also make sure that radio doesnt have anti theft system, if it does then read your manualy on how to enter the code,if it needs a code then it wont work until code is entered,careful if you do the code entering wrong three times then radio shuts down for one hour, then you would need to have the key on or van running for one hour straight,
