I just bought a used vehicle on Friday. When I was driving home the radio stopped working, the lights on stereo would still work it was stuck on ‘welcome’. The radio would only come back on if I turned the car back off and on again. Then yesterday it wouldn’t even start. When I unlock the door the lights in the car come on and when I open the door it makes a really loud speaker fuzzy noise from the speakers on the door. And the car won’t even start.

Hello,

It sounds like the Front Controls Interface Module has gone out. Here is the radio wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and the location of the module below. To be sure the CAN will need to be scanned which we are doing a video this saturday on which I have saved this post to add it to then. I will message you when its up. If the Interface Module is out it will need to be initialized before it will work which should cost about $130.00 at a shop.

Here is how you scan the CAN

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
