Started the GT after long winter (Nov)

All is well, started on first turn.

Radio (Mac with subwoofer) turns on fine; try new memory button, won't switch.

Original station# glows green; won't change even if turn off radio...will this drain battery?

Goes very dim when I turn on lights.

Turn car off/on and drove for 2 hours; still no change.

Very low music comes out (even at max); subwoofer has feedback woosh sound.

I'm guessing battery is dying and can't power amp or fuse blew ?

Which fuse # is stereo?

Can't help with most of what you report, but don't forget that the radio stays on with the key off until you open the door.

I have the same problem. The stereo won't turn off when the car is running.

Good news!

My Brother popped the tub out, disconnected the battery in two seconds; 8mm ratchet, and the stereolight went off, stereo reset.

Journeys classic came on full blast....best sound Ive ever heard !

Turned ignition off and on, and stereo works.


Guess power was low and it tripped something.

I'll stick to decorating, art, and cooking....don't tell the Models!

I'm keeping an eye on that battery!
