1HOTG37S

Hello All,

I'm hoping that some one can help me here so that I don't have to make a trip to the dealership.

I unfortunately did not drive my car for 3 weeks and my battery died... I got a jump start and it fired right up but the radio does not work properly. The display screen works and the channels/volume change when I press the buttons but there is no sound.

I haven't done anything yet to diagnose but was thinking of a hard reset (disconnecting the negative for 15 min) and checking the fuses.

Has anyone experienced this before? Will I need the unlock code? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance all!

i know there was a tsb for some kind of "charge drain" if the car sits for too long.

i don't drive my G in the snow, but i have to go out there and start it every 3 days or so and let it run for a bit.


might wanna check the tsb's or do a little search. i don't remember what tsb it actually was.

Thanks for the info. Yes I saw the TSB's but right now I want to get the radio working again. Ive had my car sit for two weeks at a time and have no issues so I am not concerned about the drain issue right now as I don't believe that I have that.

Anyone else experience this radio not working post a dead battery issue?

There's no unlock code. I would check your fuses.

Thanks Modme. I'll keep everyone posted after I do some troubleshooting this weekend.

I own a 08 g37s.
Same thing happened to me when i had to jump star my cars after sitting for like two months and it happened to be the main fuese that cracked. This fuse is combained/connected with the battery cable. That is something you might want to check..

Just to double check:

Did you turn on the radio (push in on the vol ****)?

Otherwise its probably(hopefully) the fuse.

Probably is just a fuse. I changed my batter not long ago, installed a new one about an hour later, and didn't have any issues with the radio. I still had my presets even.

I did, however, have to reprogram the windows, which took all of 25 seconds.

Hey guys. Same thing happened to my wife's 2013 G37x. This thread helped point me in the right direction. I checked the audio fuses in the cabin and battery fuse box. Both were fine. On a wild hare, I pulled the "Bose Amp" fuses in the cabin fuse box. Both were blown. I replaced them and everything works perfectly.
