My 2013 LS has a standard radio and climate control display. It started to go crazy: switched from Sirius to FM, switched back and forth a few times, display went blank then would come back with the standard display of time/date/ temp, then would display climate control, the radio would go on even after I shut it off, the display went back to default time and date (1/1/2010), and every minute or so would go blank, then display climate control, the time/date/temp, radio on and off. The blinker sound would stop working periodically also. I had to drive home continually turning off the radio and turning the volume down to stop the popping and cracking in the speakers. Does anyone know what’s going on before I have to call the dealer?

 

found these on a quick search

Do you know what that white wire controls, or controlled? Seems strange to cut an existing wire and then all works. Thanks.

 

no that's why I looked further and found the fuse base connection problem. may need to bend the connectors inside the fuse box for that fuse for a better connection if that's the problem.

 

So far I pulled the fuse for the radio and then replaced to eliminate the cause being a bad connection. Everything initially seems back to normal, but I’ll have to drive it for awhile to make sure. Thanks!
On another note, it was very difficult to get at that fuse. I don’t know what Chevrolet was thinking not putting a door cutout in the trunk lining like they did on my Malibu.

 

kool hope it works out for ya and yep manufactures gotta make doing work on your own involves cussing and pain.
