My standard stereo has gone blank after a jump start, now I am fairly sure it came on after I started the car, cos I swore due to having put the the code in once again but I ignored it and left the car run for a while.

Now does the stereo automatically turn itself of if the code is not put in and if so how can I get the screen back to enter the code?

try disconnecting the battery again to see if it gives the radio a nudge back into life....

I think there's an inline spade fuse in the cabling behind the radio. Drag your unit out and check it, you might have blown it with the jump start

I had the same issue happen just this week. BAttery went flat, jumps start and stereo dead.

I took it to a local Ford garage who asked for over £80+VAT to inspect it... So I went to Halfords and got a replacement for less than £75. Now, when I take the keys from the ignition the new radio loses all its presets.

So, as per the advise above I guess I have actually blown and inline fuse on the permenant power source.

Where exactly would I find the fuse to check?

jump starting not a good idea with a car with a cat I gather

Should have searched around before posting...

The Owners Maunal says the Radio fuse is in one location, however, having followed the advise on the above post there is actually a another fuse in 22 that has blown - marked as Diagnosis in the manual.

This one is gone for me too.

So I guess replacing will bring my stereo back to life!

Anyone want a Silver 6000 series radio or a new Kenwood (only 2 days old???)

I may be after the 6000cd...

Just swap the live and the memory cables over- you have to do this on most Fords and Vauxhalls.

You'll know which one's they are as they are the only two to have a join in the middle, so that they are easier to swap over
