I just replaced the original battery at the 5 year mark. Everything is fine except my clock and radio/cd player does not come on. Do you know what the problem could be?
Thanks for your help

I'll see if I can learn something tomorrow on this, my software isn't telling me much. What I am gathering from the charts is that there should still be a display there and just a matter of resetting it. It does reference check the dome light fuse in the event it blew.

When we do a battery, we try to get a separate cherge to maintain things like that as it can be a real pita.

IF someone hasn't already given you a solution, I will try to find out something .

BTW which model pick up?
