I had to jump start my 97 993 and the radio has ceased to work. When powered on, the word CODE appears for a few seconds (it does NOT flash) and then the unit clicks off (I can hear the amp under the right seat click on when I hit the radio power button and then hear it click off when the radio shuts off. I talked with SW Stereo who advertises in PANO and they suggested that the jump start fritzed the radio. OK, I had them send me a refurbished unit, and the exact same symptoms happen - powers only for a few second, CODE does not flash, and then it clicks off. Also, it will not take the code either - pressing the buttons does nothing. The good news (if there is any with this story), is that my existing radio does not appear to be then be the problem. Could it be the amplifier, or does anyone else have a thought. The #38 radio ruse is fine, and I don't see anything on the wiring diagram in the 993 manual that it might be (no relays founds, etc.). Thanks to all.
