The radio seems to work but no noise. It quit working when we replaced the battery and there is no dinging when the door is open and the key is in the ignition.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

Since the radio still turns on but there is no sound, there is a chance the system has a separate amplifier for the radio. The fuse may have blown for some reason.

The fuse box you need to check is located on the passenger side of the vehicle. I have attached a picture for you to see it.

Next, I want you to locate fuse 6 and check it. That is the fuse for the amp. I have attached pics of the fuse box, wiring schematics, legends which indicate what each fuse does.

Try this and let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

I hope it helps.

Take care,
Joe
