Thanks for the quick reply! The reason I think it was because of the battery is that I have unplugged my radio before with the battery disconnected and had no problem. And I don't think the 97 radio has a red LED on the radio itself, I know it has a red security one on the climate control (which does still work fine). I already checked the fuse, there should be only one correct?
If I did get another radio, would I still need to get the code reset? Does the radio itself lock up or does the car lock up the radio function? Thanks again!
