So my radio died...

[Campi3ell]

It was working fine all day, then as I get in to go home from work I notice that the radio wasn't playing. Completely dead. No lights. No clock. No sound.

I cycled the key On and Off a few times. Nada.

"WTF?" I say to no one in particular.

Ended up popping the hood, and disconnecting one of the battery cables, counting to 60 and putting it back on. It partially reset the system a bit, but the radio came back on after.

Has anyone else experienced this before? Is this common with these vehicles?

Just sharing...and wondering

Stock or aftermarket radio? Never happened to me with my stock or aftermarket so hopefully for you it's just a glitch.

Stock Bose radio. *shrugs* maybe I'm the exception to the rule

Had a similar thing happen in my previous vehicle (Ford 500), where it froze twice. It was on, just non-responsive. A battery cable disconnect worked then also.

Hmmm, that's a possibility. It was hot that day. I would think it would go out after use for hours (like my roadtrips) versus just sitting outside in partial shade.

Did the radio itself still respond to commands and just no sound?
