Weird audio problem - HELP!!

ok - I searched the freakin' forum....and got nothing

It's been a few weeks since I fired up the little C coupe- I've been having too much fun with the convertibles lately. Ok, so I start the car, I get an ESP error, a Light Sensor error and the audio system doesn't work.

After running the car for about 20 minutes, I turn it off, turn the ignition to position 1 and spin the steering wheel lock to lock (left then right) to clear the ESP/Light sensor....

But the Bose Audio still doesn't work - in any mode. No radio, cd, phone or teleaide. The radio powers up, and displays only the programmed stations in FM2 and AM - no FM1....it also displays NO CD and NO PHONE when those respective buttons are pressed.

Is there some other reset I have to perform?

Since there is memory power to the audio - have you already attempted to pull the respective fuses, leave'em out for a minute or two and then reinsert them?

I have gotten that ESP, thing a few times. Usually when driving. once it comes on. I can only get to about 5 mph. I pull over, park , and restart. That usually fixes it but only temporarily.


Question is what does turning it lock to lock have to do with it. This is the first Ive heard of anybody doing this....Please explain, Thanks

With the key in position 1, turning lock to lock resets a few things. This was suggested by teleaide once...and it worked.

Pulling the fuses worked AMD... I had to pull the fuses for the phone, radio, and teleaide system - but it's all working now. This would have cost me $99/hr and I need the car this weekend...thanks again.
