Another rado question

2005 Civic HX
When I got my car back from the service center and re-entered my radio code (becuase they had to disconnect the battery) the radio powers up, the CD player works but now I don't get any station reception. When I seek or scan to try to select stations, it just goes on and on not stopping at any stations. When I got lucky and was able to stop the radio at a known local frequency, all I got was mostly static, barely audible voices in the background. Any ideas on how to get any reception back??? Thanks.

Never mind. Apparently, the service guys tried to "fix" the radio code issue by pulling the unit out and looking for serial number without telling me. Then they forgot to plug antenna back in. After pulling the unit out and plugging antenna back in I got it working.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

I sure wouldn't need to pull that radio to get the serial number......

The how-to is somewhere in one of those longazz radio code threads.



And I make mistakes too, I just don't like to talk about them much.
