disconnect the negative battery terminal and count to 15 seconds and reconnect.

Well then, you guys are easily bothered

not really but that has always been something that gets on my nerves for some reason, i guess it has to do with working a lot of customer service type stuff, people always ask questions just to get you to give them answers they dont like so they can go off on you

theres a 7.5 AMP back up fuse...just pull it out for 15 seconds and pop it back in....disconnecting the battery resets the radio

first fix whatever is wrong with your car, then go to autozone and borrow their check engine light reader for free, hook it up then click the clear all codes button

sometimes the people working at autozone are dicks and wont let you erase the code(s). so that dosent always work. it really depends on the store/whos working at the time
