RT Radio Issue

[polygonguy]

Just put a new battery in our two 2012 RTs. One now has no radio. The audio screen on the info screen does not show up on the instrument panel anymore. Weird. Fuses are good. Any ideas? Resets? Hmmm. Puzzled. Thanks in advance!

If yours has battey under the seat, check the chassis ground cable near the battery. Then check the electrical plugin connectors in the area, you may have one partialy unplugged.

Either no power or Can Bus lines disconnected. So the suggestion to look for a bad ground or disconnected wires is a good one. Just because a fuse looks good does not mean it is good. If you have not done it check the fuse with an ohm meter. The radio module is on the opposite side of the Spyder then the battery. But you may still have accidently moved something.

After checking the new battery to see if it is fully charged, disconnect one of the cables again for about 5 minutes.
That should do a "reset".

If that doesn't do it, you are going to have to trace wires and voltages.

Found a partially unhooked plug in by the battery. Fixed. Thanks!
