Battery died - stereo went out with 'code', cruise control broken, 'service' light on

Feb 14, 2009 2 Replies

My battery died overnight when a light was left on in my 2004 C70. The stereo system has stoppped working - only the word 'code' comes up in the radio panel and none of the features work. The cruise control is also not working. There is predictably a 'service' light on. A trip to the dealer always costs at least $500. Any ideas to get around some of this without spending a fortune? The car has 57K miles and no warranty and I'm getting concerned it is reaching the point when things start falling apart. Any hints or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.



Thanks, Bill


Why does a trip to the dealer always cost so much?

Falling apart? It better not be to that point yet, 5 years old and less than 60K miles, that's hardly even broke in. Should go at least another

4-5 times that.
