Your radio may be coded and you may need the code to start the radio again. Call chevy with vin for code or dealer, but alot fo dealers may want to charge for that.

Have you tested the alternator to see if it's charging? If so try to run a ground wire from the negative battery post to a good clean spot on the body.

I just bought a 92 silverado 2500 and the radio will not work. It turns on but display's 1:00 and station 98.1. You cannot change the station or volume or anything.

I've had ths problem with 92. Does it have a stock cassette player as well? If so, does that not work as well? If not, it sounds like you'll have to replace the head unit above the a/c controls. Junk yard find perhaps. This may help you along the way

There are grounds all around that vehicle and you would have to do a lot of research to determine which ones apply to those components. I suggest an electrical shop for diagnosis.

I was having problems with the original audio system in my truck. The clock, sound, and equalizer was not working. I got the CDM repaired and now all that works. A week after I repaired the CDM the sound stopped working. Everything still light up and worked just not the sound. When I turn off and on the radio I can hear that it connects to the speakers, but no sound comes out when I try radio or a cassette.
