Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Does anyone know if you can use a similar procedure with the PCM1 to get the serial number without having to remove the PCM unit?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I replaced my alternator and battery, and all seems well. Everything works except the radio. Won't power on. Checked the fuse, but it is intact. Any thoughts on where to go next?

POST 2Original post

Don't you have to put the code in?? Since the battery was disconected

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It doesn't give me the opportunity, it just won't power up.

POST 4Original post

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That was it, thanks again. Now if I could get the damn code, my owners manual set has everything but. Gotta love used cars...

POST 6Original post

check your option tkt (the white thing with option code) dealer might write the code there. good luck, otherwise, has to get it from the dealer.

POST 7Original post

If you have to go to the dealer for the code, you will need the radio serial number. Assuming you don't wish to pull the radio yet again, here is the way to get that serial: To display data on radio: 1. Radio �on� 2. Press �TP� until beeps 3. �Becker� will appear in display 4. Use right **** to scroll to serial number It should be an alphabet character, then 7 numerals, as in: X 1234567. If you have a relationship with a mechanic at a dealer (so that he trusts you), you can give him the serial in a phone call, and he can retrieve the code in a minute or so.

POST 8Original post

Does anyone know if you can use a similar procedure with the PCM1 to get the serial number without having to remove the PCM unit?

POST 9Original post
