Default Radio wont work...

In my 93 vette the radio only shows 1:00 and doesnt work. When I turn the radio on I will hear a pop and thats all. Do I need another radio or do I need something else?

This is good advice. The guys at Factory Car Stereo Repair will solve your problem without trying to sell you a complete new stereo system. They are great, fast and relatively inexpensive. Check out their web site.

When I take out the fuse for the courtesy lights, the radio shows 1:00. Check the fuses.

You may have a loose or broken ground wire. Retrace and tighten, first take the fuse out so you don't flash burn the radio.

Could be the Bose relay or CDM/tuner module. Both are located under the dash (passenger side hush panel) and are a PITA to remove. Damn near have to be a midget contortionist to access.

My '91 had the same problem and it was the CDM. Dr. Don's is probably the best place to get it fixed... $135. Getting the CDM out is another story. It's a pain but really not that bad. I can guide you through the extraction process.
