How to fix Chevrolet "LOCKED" radio

[@tonebonebgky2]

These kinda videos never get the kind of recognition that they deserve!

[@lillynapalot]

Your advice saved me a trip to the dealer… couldn’t even find the answers on car gurus or Malibu forums… took out fuses 4 and 5 (radio/info)… radio came back %100… thanks again

[@PAID6159]

Your video from 2 years ago saved me today. Easiest fix I've ever done. Good job at troubleshooting. Thank you, thank you.

[@VeronicaFreeman-n4j]

I'm telling you this video saved me too. I didn't want to pay my dealer $350 but I was about to do it because I missed my stereo. I missed XM Radio and my true crime podcasts. I was going crazy and then I seen this amazing ladies video. It took me less than three minutes to get my radio working again and it has been locked for two months now. I am so very thankful that she took the time to put this online. I am so thankful.

[@russellspencer7502]

You posted this years ago and it just saved my pocketbook Thank You so much

[@scottpearman965]

I don't have the same kind of vehicle you have, I actually have a 2015 Buick Verano and I did as you instructed to do and it worked for me as well!!! So thank you very much for sharing, it literally saved me $175 just so the dealership could diagnose the problem!!! Such HORSESHIT!!! Afterwards I went ahead and called back up the dealership and told them so as well as called up GM assistance and notified them and asked them if they could please put it into their notes that if anyone else is to call up having the same type of issue that they could pass this along to them. Just my way of paying it forward just as you did. God Bless.🙏

[@claudiamarlenesalazarsauce881]

I have a 2011 Buick lacrosse, can you tell me where can I find the fuse box panel? Please!

[@annamoon5495]

Omg!!! Totally worked like you said. I had to do it twice. Need to leave the fuse out more than 2 minutes. It also fixed a Bluetooth connectivity problem I had deleting and adding devices!!! Wow! I feel like I have a new car. THANK YOU!!!

[@glokeepthem9604]

This is actually true, works like new again had to tried twice but it works!🦾

[@MAMAERAPS]

Thank you for blessing me with that suggestion I am 71 years old use a milkcrate to get that low to the ground, I pulled that 20 amp fuse put it back in radio works. Many Thanks😁

[@tylerfoley2859]

Bro 9-23-2023 just opened the fuse box there third one down just pulled it out and cleaned it with my fingers put it back in and now my moms radio is unlocked! THANKS! 🇺🇸👍🏼

[@ismokeDANC]

Yooo fr I changed my battery on my 2013 Malibu and my screen wouldn't even turn on. This definitely did the trick girl thank you ! This needs more likes !

[@BillyAllen89]

I feel like I owe you something. You just saved me from wasted time and money! Thank you

[@wick221de]

This tip worked today for my 2022 Chevrolet Traverse thank you saved me time and most important money.

[@yolandapollard4385]

This happened to me today and worked like a charm I have a 2012.. it was out of commission for like 20 mins found this video and now I’m back in action.. Thank you so much.. I was dreading having to make the Chevy phone call...

[@Desstiny15]

How did you do it? It’s not working for me ?

[@erikarunnheim3989]

SOOOO Helpful!! Thank you, Thank you. Sat on hold with the dealer for over an hour, with no resolution!! Found your video and two min later the radio was working! :)

[@nyeashapartee8944]

Omg thank you soo much for this video I was about to go to the dealership and spend $200 for them to look at my car radio and this was the problem thank you so much if I could give you a hug right now I would that’s how truly thankful I am right now💯💞

[@JamesWilliams-bo5ek]

Thank you so much whomever you may be I did exactly what you said my radio came in lock is off thank you for spreading the word to save me from that $99 love you and may God continue to bless you young lady

[@gwendolynshivers2369]

Thank youthank you thank you thank you it is April 20, 2022 had the same problem truck wouldn't start needed a jump radio went out we were sitting here looking crazy my ex-husband fixed the battery issue and then no radio so we watched your video instantly it works thank you so much

[@MarkWesley]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! This was the solution for my girlfriend’s 2015 Buick Encore. I followed your video. Success!

[@SamanthaSimonelli-d1r]

Thanks so much for this video. It worked for my 2016 Equinox too!!! You’re awesome!!

[@vanessarico2283]

Thank you so much for this video. As a woman I was panicking this morning when I turned my car on and both radio and dashboard had the lock symbol on and NO MAN in my family was found to help. And I did not want to take my car in. This was fast and easy thank you so much!!! (P.s i did drop the fuse and couldn’t reach it so I struggled there until I realized I could pull out the panel to get in there lol)

[@pesha00]

Found this video today and that saved me from unhooking the battery or taking it to the dealership. Thank you so much!

[@VeronicaFreeman-n4j]

This video saved me $350. The dealer would not give me the code so I could do it myself. I have a snap on tool that would have allowed me to unlock the radio if I had the code but the dealer wouldn't supply me with the code and they said it would cost $350 for them to do it. How sickening is that? Well, thanks to the lovely lady that put this video online I don't need the code anymore. I am so very thankful.

[@ericzephirin9203]

Thanks, worked like a charm.

[@brainandsoulfood8793]

Thank you so much, this was a big help saved me 150.00 I didn't not have after just replacing an engine.

Thank you!! Worked perfect. Thanks for saving me and my family $100!

[@glennford781]

You should be praised because that definitely just worked!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@lamarbenton7380]

OMG, Thank you so sooooo much !!!! My lights got left on somehow inside car and had to jump start it, the radio system locked. I just stumbled on your video, went out to try it.... (other than dropping the fuse and having to stick my hand inside the middle console area to find it) lol When I put it back in and started the car it came back on... This is an awesome video and I appreciate you taking the time to share!!!

[@Reverse36]

You are the best! Worked on my 2016 Malibu Limited LTZ.

[@teetonga4194]

[@Envioustresses]

Your welcome I'm glad you were able to resolve your issue.

[@VeronicaFreeman-n4j]

Same here!

[@limit420]

You dont have fuse for Info-tainment system because that's the fuse for the rear/behind seat infotainment, which most Equnox's don't have. Was going CRAZY trying to figure out why I was missing this fuse until I found out

[@julianzamudioarenas4168]

Don’t you happen to have any more videos like this, do you??? Very useful.

[@malikandnya03]

Worked amazingly. Ty

[@eshundrathomas-beck4607]

[@paulinebuchanan1346]

Thank you soooooo much!!😍😍 it's kinda hard to get it out but it all worked out. You are the best!! Plus I discovered there was a plug in there 🤣🤣 that's lit.

[@RichThompson-o6g]

Thank u so much for that information. I could give you a big kiss.😅

[@darlenehammonds2644]

Thank you for this video. Worked great for me and saved me some money. Thanks again!,

[@rickeykeeton71]

Just bought a ‘14 Equinox. When I plugged my phone cord into what I assumed to be the charging port, the radio volume would not turn down, and the radio would shut off. None of the buttons would respond. Turned engine off and back on. The radio and panel was dead. Found your video and pulled the third fuse then put it back in. Everything seems to be working now. Any idea what caused this! Do you know if I can expect it to happen again? Thanks.

[@kennethpromo8946]

started the radio with a banger 😂

[@carolynmccoy8049]

im going to try it, i have a 2011 terrain, and my battery was replaced and now i have a black screen and the radio wont come on, gmc is trying to charge me 150.00, and they are not sure if it will work, i need all of the sugestions i can get before i have to pay 150.00 for something that may not work,, so frustrated right now, the screen is grey with 2 lines down the middle and it flickers on and off, so it seems like it wants to come on,, it just needs a push.

What year is your Equinox?

[@VeronicaFreeman-n4j]

Mine is 2015 and it worked like a charm. My radio said "Locked" and it's been this way for two months. Dealer wanted to charge $350 to unlock it. I didn't want to pay it but I was going to just to get my radio working and I thought I'd search the internet one more time. This was the first video I came across. I've searched several times and never seen this video until today. I was skeptical but I tried it and it worked perfectly. I was so surprised and so happy. Did you try it?

[@beatrizsoto6663]

Thank you very much!! your video help a lot. 👍🏼😃

[@franksalinas490]

I seen both your videos, thanks, but I wasn't sure it was the radio. So saw another video saying to disconnect fuses and sot for a bit, then put them back and it worked. Hope it works for others

[@Envioustresses]

That's exactly what my video tell you to do, and I only have one video about this so obviously you've comment on the wrong video. But you are welcome glad I can be assistance to you.
