Many radios are designed to shut down if the battery is disconnect for more than a few seconds, as a method of reducing theft. To reactive the radio, the security code has to be entered. If you can't find it written in the manual, then someone selling that brand of radio can reprogram it to a new code and tell it to you.

Mercury milan pats system

The check charging light should be on if the engine is not running.
The most common cause is a bad chip in the key. Have you tried a spare key ?

Outlook 2008 will not start

It might be that the original key has a "chip" in it. This key sends an electronic signal to the computer that allows the system to "start". Visit your Saturn dealer (if you can find one) and get an original key for it if you lost the original one. You might try Ace Hardware, they sell "chip" keys; make sure you know your make and model, VIN, etc.

Engine turns over, stalls out and alarm goes off

These vehicles use Fords Securilock transponder system to prevent vehicle theft. Basically, there is a little radio chip in the key that transmits a code to the computer when you start the car. If this code doesn't match the computer, the computer disables fuel and spark so the engine won't run. If you have a spare key, try that to see if it works. If it doesn't work, then the Securilock system needs service. Unfortunately only the dealer can service this system because it is integrated into the vehicle computer.

If your spare key works, then the key you tried to use has a damaged transponder and the key needs to be replaced. If you don't have a spare key, contact a locksmith and have them make you a new key. I have to warn you, transponder keys are not cheap. They can cost easily $75 and some even go for $150. But, that is probably cheaper then having Ford make one and even if the spare doesn't work, when you get the system fixed by the dealer they can program your spare key as well so you don't waste the money on the key.

2003 Trailblazer- no power after key stuck in ignition

Sounds like an antitheft problem I would start with the antitheft system. Usually when you only have one key all keys have to be programmed together even the original. When you have more than one it is easy to program additional keys.
