How can I reset my radio? I have a wiring diagram and all of the circuits are ok. But the radio or clock will not come on. I had to replace my battery.

Thank You!

Hello – When the battery has been disconnected or reconnected, volatile memory information will be lost. Systems affected will have to be programmed by the technician or driver. These systems include radio station presets, clock, seat memory, mirror memory, window memory and customer input keyless entry system codes.

If you don’t have the codes for the radio, then get with the parts department at the dealer and give them your VIN number and they can look it up for you.
