Car ran out of gas on the highway, everything was working perfectly. Put gas in the car, started right up and runs perfect. Since running out of gas, the radio (AM/FM tuner) will not work. Unit will play CD's, XM radio works, can plug in iPhone to aux and that works too but no tuner. All fuses have been checked and are good. Any ideas?

I have been looking in the wiring diagrams and find no relation between fuel pump and the radio.

I will keep looking but I think you have a separate issue with the radio.

THIS ONE IS FROM LONG AGO

BACK BEFORE "THEY" REQUESTED/SUGGESTED THAT I CHANGE MY USER NAME

I FEEL SURE YOU DID NOT CRANK ON IT JUST "ONE" TIME BEFORE YOU FIGGERED OUT THAT YOU WERE OUTTA FUEL

MAYBE THE EXCESSIVE CRANKING DREW YOUR BATTERY DOWN........SOME....ANYWAY
