Default Wrecked 98 C5 Questions

Well my car was hit in the passenger side front.....the car still starts and drives but on the radio screen it has this "LOC" and wont play or anything....and ideas?

On the screen below the guages it says that the hatch is open but its not....and the interior lights wont go off like a door is open or somthing.....and ideas?

Thanks,
Travis

It sounds like your radio security has been activated. Your radio is equipped with a code which you will need to enter to unlock the radio. This is in your radio so it would be worthless to a thief who would not have your code.
You may want to post a thread asking how to unlock your radio when you do not know the code. I used to have that info but just deleted it a few days ago.
Ask that whoever gives you the info do so by PM rather than making the process even more public than it already is. They may be some on this forum who would want to steal a C-5 radio. Considering the poor quality of the radio I don't know why anyone would want to steal it.
Good luck!

Hey Travis,

The lights not going off may mean that the BCM is not working correctly. Did you check DIC for any codes.

How hard was the car hit? was the car so twisted that the doors and hatch are not lining up in the jambs and not pressing the switches to close the lights?
