Last week I had to have my car worked on, and the mechanic removed the battery, so now I do not have a radio or clock, and I have forgotten how to reset both. Somewhere (I have recently relocated and can not find anything right now) I have the radio reset code, but even when I find it, I will not know how to use it. Can you please send me simple step-by-step instructions on how to use the radio reset code and also how to reset my clock? The auto manual that came with my car is practically useless because it doen't explain anything.
Thank you for any assistance that you can provide!

Your owners manual is the only place that procedure is explained. Our service manuals tell us how to disassemble things but not how to operate them.

My owner's manual that came with my car does not explain how to do anything. It truly is useless.
Thank you for responding though. I can go to a Chevy dealership; however right now, I simply do not have time to go.

The procedure to input the radio code should definitely be in your owners manual.
