Is it possible you have another fuse blown?

You could also disconnect the battery and reset the ECM to see if that will clear the fault.

your radio code is on a card that is usually in with your owners manual.

and a word of advice. Enter the code into your cell phone to always have it with you. What if you were on a road trip and the code was 1,500 miles away at your house. That would be one long and quiet drive hiome.

That's a really good idea. Thanks.


I still don't understand why our radios need a lock code. If you steal one, you deserve the subpar audio quality that comes out of it. LOL

USDM Fits also have the radio code on a decal on the left side of the glove box. On GE's, it is the lower glove box.

Good tips for the code but the op is showing a code error and not enter code. I think that by pulling the ECM fuse or disconnecting the negative battery lead should clear the fault and allow him to enter the radio code.

That is good to know, thank you.

If that's true and the radio won't let you enter the code I think this is your best bet.

Have you adjusted the dimmer switch? If already to max position then dimmer switch is bad. The fact that you have full brightness dash lighting when headlights off tells you this.

Which interior light did you change? If you had a blown fuse, you should check and make sure the replacement bulb isn't touching the metal roof.
