February 6, 201511 yr This is for a 2014 Forester- I had a dead battery yesterday due to a light on all day. Battery got a jump and all is working well now, except the radio will not turn on at all. I have an appointment at the dealership next week but wondered if there's a quick fix for this that I would be able to do myself. Thanks!
February 7, 201511 yr Author I don't think it's a fuse. The dealership said it's a safety thing to keep radios from being stolen. Everything else works.
February 7, 201511 yr When in doubt, check the owner's manual. There should be some information in there about it. My 01 Civic with a factory radio requires the input of a "radio code" after the battery is disconnected to prevent theft. If the code is entered incorrectly 10 times the radio locks up.
