Asked by Danny Dec 15, 2013 at 04:22 PM about the 2004 Chevrolet Malibu LS FWD Question type: Maintenance & Repair My car battery was having some issues maintaining a charge so i charged it one night and then unplugged it for the night and reconnected it in the morning but when i did connect it the radio and digital display of time, oild and gas life did not turn on. AC works but the radio does not. I checked the fuse box and the fuse was not really burnt but i changed it anyway and it did not help. Any ideas what i can check now? Tgibel answered 3 years ago On a 2012 Malibu, I had a friend who had recently had her battery go completely dead. She jump started the car and the radio read: 'no vin.'
The dealership wanted $120 to 'reset' the radio. The fuse bank for the radio is on the passenger side of the center console. I removed the lower cover, with the power off, I removed the 10 Amp fuse for the 'Radio.' BTW, the fuse was good. Fuses are diagramed in the owner's manual. With the fuse removed, I started the car.
I then turned the car off, replaced the fuse and turned the key to 'ACC' and the radio was 'Reset.' A 5 minute job would have cost my friend $120. Hope this works for you.
