Question

Answer
It may be a radio that has the anti-theft circuitry.  When ever the power is lost - for any reason - it will not come on without the security code being entered.

Above is one company that claims they can get you the code and instructions. If I remember correctly you must remove the radio from the dash in order to get at the manufacturer code before the security code can be obtained.  Maybe it will work for you.  

Good Luck.

PS: There may be other firms that can obtain the code for you as well - you can google for them.  But, in all cases that I know of you must pay some $$ to get it.

PPS: I don't know if this procedure works or not but you can try it:
