Did you check all the fuses in both fuse boxes?? There's one in the car near the trunk latch, and there's one under the hood as well. Also, if you have an aftermarket stereo system with an amp, check the fuse for the power wire to the amp. Other than that, make sure all your connections to the radio are connected....does it not turn on at all? Or does the radio not work? Does the clock come on??? try pushing and holding the volume button on the head unit...sometimes that makes it power on<P>P.S. if you blew the radio, i got a stock 626 radio for sale (cheap) that will plug into the MX-3 harness...let me know...pz<P>------------------<BR>~'94 GS (Creek Blue Mica)<p>[This message has been edited by Bri94GS (edited August 26, 2001).]

If you're clock gets reset, that means that it isn't getting powered....it's basically like you're battery is getting unplugged everytime you turn the car off....check all your connections to the battery....do you have a car alarm or strobe lights or something else attached to the battery? If so, check the wiring to those things, because that can cause a mess as well<P>------------------<BR>~'94 GS (Creek Blue Mica)
