I was on the way home and listening to the radio, I went to change the station and the radio blanked out and became unresponsive. The car is beeping and the antenna won't go down even when the car is off. The CD player won't eject either. Any ideas?

 

The first thing that I would try is removing the ground cable from the battery. Do a hard reset...so to speak...I think your communications unit that talks to the various components is confused. Can't give you a reason why it would happen.

 

I tried that. and it worked. Awesome!

Thanks. I guess I really should figure out an aftermarket alternative..
