Weirdest radio problem - only CD player and volume work

[whalleyboy]

So the other day I left the lights on (aftermarket remote start kept the car on until after i got out so i couldnt hear the beep) and killed the battery. No big deal, I left it for a day and then jumped it with my other car today, no problems, except now the radio basically doesnt work. The volume knob and cd player work, but I cant press any buttons (power, fm, clock, seek) so all I can do is turn the cd thats playing up or down, but I cant even change the song..

Any suggestions? I'm going to take it apart this weekend probably and maybe test replacing the fuse?

if it is getting power (and it is) - the fuse is good.

Sounds like the radio has failed.

Remove and replace.

Thanks for the diagnostics pcb!

Late reply, but I didnt end up needing to do anything. 3 days and about 4-5 trips later, the buttons just started working again.

OK... You've got a gremlin then....

Your car may still need to be de-hexed...

You should give ghost busters a call... Or sprinkle some holy water on the dash...
