Question

Answer
Hi Justin:

does the radio come on but no sound? or does it not even turn on? if it comes on but no sound you more thne likley damaged the Amplifier when you jump started it.. if the radio doesn't come on at all it could have blown a fuse but I doubt it.. It is either "logic locked" or you damaged it when you jump started the car. if it's in logic lock you may luck out by just disconnecting battery cables and touch the bare cables together then reconnect the battery and see what happens. Make sure the key is off when you do this. Good luck :)
