Defective Radio
I have an 18 moth '01 and I have a probelm with the radio. The anti-theft light is on and the other lights are on when the headlights are on, but htere is nothing on the display. I took it into the dealer and they checked all of the fuses, but everything seemed to be okay from that angle.
I have an appointment to have it looked at more completely, but I thought I would put up this question to see if anyone has had a similar problem.

See the post on this forum just before your post titled RADIO AND ACC. FUSE. He had the same issue, and was able to figure out why. I had a customer with the air pump blowing fuse and found the same 10A fuse blown, not the radio one. Basically, the radio is protected by two different fuses. One is the 15A Radio fuse in the fuse block, it protects the Constant 12volts supplied to the radio (the one that keeps the clock/station presets/antitheft light). The other is for the switched 12volts that comes on with the key,(turns radio on) it is also tied in with the cigarette lighter circuit labeled ACC 10A. Check that fuse to see if its blown and replace with same rated fuse (extra's are provided right next to fuse block, three all together 10A, 15A, and 20A) You would think the dealer should catch that, but this is an unusual wiring compared to what has been done in other cars, initially I always check the radio fuse and go from there. I hope this is the case for you, GOOD LUCK!
