Radio problem - Toyota Yaris Forums

engelm_ · 10-26-2008, 04:55 PM

So, my radio wont turn on anymore, no AUX or CD... I check the fuse for it, and it is not blown..

Does anyone know what i should do, to get it fixed, or just go to the dealership?

*MAD DOG* · 10-26-2008, 07:19 PM

Try disconnecting the car battery, waiting 5 mins, then reconnecting the battery and trying the radio again.

If that does not work, go to dealer.

engelm_ · 10-26-2008, 07:26 PM

Ok, thankyoU!

*MAD DOG* · 10-26-2008, 09:33 PM

Did that work?

engelm_ · 10-27-2008, 01:49 AM

I havnt tried it yet, ive been busy all afternoon. I will have to do it tommorrow. Once i do it though, i will let you know.

I don't know about US version.. but I have the same problem.. three times.
I go to dealer, got fixed, broke again, go to dealer again, got fixed again, and broken again.
That time I asked for replacement. No more problem since then.

Same thing happens to some of my friends with their Yaris. I think it's a bug..

battleversiontc · 10-28-2008, 05:56 AM

i would just take it to the dealer to figure out since its still under warranty.

Or you can buy mines

Meg,

How'd ya go? Did it work?

engelm_ · 11-02-2008, 08:06 PM

I still havn't done it...

=P

*MAD DOG* · 11-02-2008, 08:46 PM

D.I.Y. for Meg

Go to tool kit.
Get adjustable spanner.
Remove battery cables (should be attached to the red and black terminals on the battery) .
Wait 5 minutes.
Re attach the red wire to the red terminal.
Re attach the black wire to the black terminal.
Unlock door.
Sit inside.
Put key in ignition.
Turn key.
Try stereo.

See how you go. Make sure you tighten the wires back up tight.

engelm_ · 11-04-2008, 12:14 AM

HAHAHA, I know how to do it.......

I burst up laughing now.....

I just havnt gotten to it.... THe silence is nice though.

*MAD DOG* · 11-04-2008, 01:32 AM

Also I know you say you checked the fuse, sometimes it's really hard to tell if they are blown or not. Do grab another fuse from another spot that is the same amp (color) and put it in and see if it works.

You shouldn't let this go on for too long. Look at this persons Yaris!

They had an elecrical short.

TheSilkySmooth · 11-05-2008, 05:30 PM

Cheap 30$ Maylasian radio/Cd Aux-in. Now is a good time time to get something better for 150 bucks and better speakers too for 50 bucks ...

You can have my sisters radio for 100 bucks, works fine - she wants to upgrade by spending LESS

MadDog;
Do you know exactly what caused that short in that melted YAris in the pic?
Was it due to the radio? Also, is this a defect in the new Yaris series??

My first guess would be a popped fuse. Are there any other electrical components not working?

engelm_ · 11-08-2008, 11:29 AM

Well all my electrical components are working, and i made sure that they were.

I am chillen at the dealership right now waiting for them to finish it up. The battery thing didn't seem to work...

I hope this is nothing big.
