Re: Radio not working
Do these radios have an onboard battery (cr2032 or similar) or caps or do they simply take power from the car battery? If there's some internal power supply that may stop a full reset from working unless thats disconnected too? Thinking aloud!

Re: Radio not working
I have not seen anywhere a descrition of an internal battery on these radios, they have a permanent live from battery which maintains the code memory and a switched live

Re: Radio not working
Well, I put in the cd player for the weekend to download and it worked fine. Will try the ford radio again when I get a minute. Hectic at moment!
On another positive note, travelled nearly 400 miles the weekend in it and run like a dream. Gutless but it is a 1.6 !
Comfy, quiet and nothing like the Capri. Never replace the Capri though!

Re: Radio not working
Just an update. After reading through all the comments and advice I finally got it working.
I left the key in position one as stated, left it for about 30 minutes and voila! Entered code and we now have a working radio!
Thanks again folks, where would we all be without you!
