Anti theft activated-now car won't start and radio won't work. Radio won't take radio code and car cranks but doesn't start, horn blares, and headlights flash. I don't have the other code for the anti theft but do have the radio code. How do I get the other one and how do I set it??

To turn off the theft system, all you have to do is put the key in the door lock and lock and unlock the door, this shuts down the anti theft system,now this has nothing to do with the radio, the only way the radio would ask for the code is if it was removed or the battery unhooked,anyway try the unlocking of the door even try the passenger door, hope this helps.

On my 2011 dodge journey my battery died then I jump started it and now my radio and all that controls my climate and won't come on what would be the problem??

with the battery dying the radio and equipment that has anti theft circuits have had the anti theft codes activated . You will need a code for the radio before it will work again and for anything else may be a reset of the CPU using a scanner will be the answer.

Car won't start

If it does not crank, it could be a bad connection between the battery and starter, a faulty neutral safety switch, anti-theft system problem, or a faulty key switch. Not to mention a faulty starter.
If it cranks but does not start, you would need to know if it has spark, fuel, and normal compression.

Need to no the anti theft radio code for a Honda accord 1995 vti

When you disconnect your battery and then reconnect it again, it disables the radio. This is an anti-theft protection for your car radio.
The enable your radio the activation code is in your vehicle owner's manual. If you do not have this code you need to go to your Honda service centre and get them to enter this code for you.

How do i reset my anti thief system on my 2009 dodge ram 1500

It's possible that you will need assistance from the manufacturer of the Anti Theft device. They may have tto reset the system, as an Anti theft device, any thing construed as 'tampering' with the car, or the device may cause it to shut down, and would need tech support from the manufacturer.

My radio will not turn on in my 2008 ford escape. I checked all the fuses and disconnected the battery for an hour and radio still wont come on. The clock doesn't even display.

by disconnecting the battery you have activated the anti-theft system in the radio
you will now need a code and insert it in the radio before it will operate again
