    Ok, so I fried my radio when I replaced my battery.......the dumb mistakes we make. I couldn't old it right because I hurt my wrist and my entire forearm(chiropractor says I have golfer elbow........stratch my head) and the negative was touching when I tried to connect the positive and ZAAAP! the clock is fine, I have no other extra's, and all my dash is lit.

    I also have a CD stuck in there........how do I get that out? Bash it on the ground, run over it...ect!....LOL!

    I have to ask, but did you check the fuse for the radio?
    I think the clock is separate from the radio. So it might be the fuse.

    10A Radio No.1

    Yes the clock is separate from the radio. Like mentioned above, you probably just blew the fuse.

    On a positive note, at least you didn’t let the positive touch the negative terminal and the negative touch the positive terminal.

    Connecting the positive wire with the negative already connected should not have caused any fuses to blow. But check them anyway and hopefully you didn’t cross the streams.

    Ok, under the fuse box lid is a replacement fuse and the tool to pull it. It was the 10a

    Peace,

    I have five CDs in my radio that I haven't played in at least four years! I have a Tech Deck with my Garmin GPS and phone mount, that I cant even access the controls without moving that stuff out of the way.

    I play music via a data card in a FM transmitter.
