stevestojan Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I think I left the auxilary on in my car overnight (its a push button start so it's fairly easy to do). Anyway, this morning it was dead. A guy in the area had one of those units that charges batteries (so it wasn't jumped from another car). It started back up right away and EVERYTHING (all lights, A/C, even the cigarette lighter plugs where my GPS and Sirius are plugged into. The radio just won't turn on. The entire display (which also has the clock) won't work. I checked the fuse for "radio" inside the car. It's fine. I checked the one for radio under the hood. Fine. Any ideas? It's a 2009 Nissan Murano. This is what the dash looks like. The large monitor on top is what is out. http://www.autoblog.com/photos/xx-2009-nis...rano-xx/488991/ Yes, I've googled.
Wacka Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Does the radio have an anti-theft feature? My radio in my Saturn does and won't work when the battery is disconnected. Read the manual to see. Mine died and when I got a new one (the original lasted 7 years!), I did that and it works fine. All your presets are gone though.
Alaska Darin Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 My truck stereo has a code you have to type in every time the battery has been disconnected.
RayFinkle Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 It's a 2009 Nissan Murano. Are you a middle aged soccer mom?
stevestojan Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 Are you a middle aged soccer mom? Good one.
DC Tom Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 My truck stereo has a code you have to type in every time the battery has been disconnected. Bingo. RTFM, stojan, and see if the radio's disabled when the power to it is cut off. If so...need to type in the right code to reset it.

RayFinkle Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Good one. Just get yourself a set of truck nuts for that bad boy. You'll be all set.
BillsFanInTexas Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Just got MY WIFE the 2009 Murano...I think the code thingy is right. That's what I need to restart the radio on my honda accord.

If that display is out, I have doubts about it being anti-theft. Is that display used for more than just your radio? I thought the newer Nissans also used it for things such as climate control? Is there *another* fuse for that display specifically?

Albany,n.y. Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 One time I left my interior light on in my parents' garage when they lived on Long Island. I had to call AAA to jump it & I didn't have the code to get the radio back. I called the dealer in Albany & they didn't know it, so I ended up buying a portable TV/Radio for around $10-15 & played the radio on the way home. The code is usually in a separate place from the owner's manual.
stevestojan Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 1) I've read the owner manual, nadda. 2) I called the dealer and there's no security feature such as this. 3) Yes, that display also shows the A/C controls, but in a separate "section" of the screen. The A/C works fine 4) I called the dealer. They ordered an entire new screen/radio unit. I am thinking when it was jumped it !@#$ed something up real well. If they give me any crap about my warranty due to the cause being a jump I will use my GEICO Mechanical Breakdown insurance. $250 ded, but it does luckily cover ANYTHING. Thanks for the input folks.
stevestojan Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 Try reading the owners manual, Sue. I've been called alot of things, but that's crossing the line....

So easy, a stojan can do it... I am thinking when it was jumped it !@#$ed something up real well. ...that, on the other hand, is apparently too tough...
stevestojan Posted August 18, 2008 Author Posted August 18, 2008 So easy, a stojan can do it... ...that, on the other hand, is apparently too tough... I was ragingly hungover. It was the morning after my bachelor party. I am now downloading the service manual. The owner's manual is apparently not advanced enough. (I'm getting help from an apparent expert on nissanmurano.org. The scary thing? (and I'm not making this up) his name is NJJOE. But he said if I get him that he would be able to figure out what's wrong. Eerily similar to our friend Sue.
