Radio has reset - but no code!

[TonyHetherington]

Hi all

Now firstly I should say; no, I've not nicked a radio

I have a 1998 S Ford Focus 1.6 and it has the bog stnadard tape player radio thingy in it.

A friend replaced the clutch during the week and (I don't udnerstand why) disconnected the battery. As such my radio is now asking for a code to be put into it.

So, I go to the pack that I got with the car; old receipts etc, and there is the radio code; 8314.

So, I type that into the radio all as it says and it still doesn't work. I tried it again and again to make sure (you get 10 goes) but definitely doesn't work.

So, I don't quite know what to do next?! Anyone have any ideas? My journey to work this morning was ludicrously silent with no Chris Moyles

Thanks world

PS: I really HAVEN'T nicked a radio, honest!!

Can you supply me with the serial number off the side of the set(You will need to take it out to get it)?Does the display just drop back to the lines and add another attempt to the total attempt number or does the display drop out all together(Go blank).

Hi Jon,

I certainly could supply the serial number of the radio (this evening when I get home) - would that enable you to get the code would it?

When I type in the code (buttons 1 thru 4) and then hit 5 to enter it, it briefly goes blank (<1second) and then adds another count to the code-count-ometer and remains flashing "CODE" waiting for me to enter the correct one.

Hi Tony, yes that sounds like the wrong code and if i have the serial number i can supply the correct code for you.

Regards,

Jon.

You're an absolute gentleman; thanks Jon!

Ok tonight I will take it out tonight and record the serial number; I'll reply here tonight.

Thanks again, very much appreciated
Tony

Jon.
