Hey I recently unplugged and changed the battery and ever since then my radio wont turn on! I check the fuse according to this thread Fuse thread and it was fine. But I read there is another fuse behind the radio, I will go and buy the tools to remove it in a few hours, but does anyone have any pictures of the actual steps to remove? I searched for threads with pictures also but couldn't find any. Thanks!

I do not have the steps or photos, but it is extremely simple. When you get the tools (which are just two "blades"), they insert in two small slits on either side of the face of the unit. When they are inserted (and they

only;y insert one way....You have to have the right an left oriented correctly)..they depress little tabs on the side of the radio chassis that allows you to pull straight out (and may require some force).

Just be careful not to scratch your dash panels as you pull out. Once it comes forward, there are a few plugs that simply disconnect...And your radio is out! Reverse process to reinstall. As I recall, the fuse is right on the

back and visible as soon as you remove it.

If I come across anything else I will post. Hope this helps.

PS..Make sure you have your radio code available: And here are some pics I found:
