Radio has NO power

[farrow]

Took my car to get a bumper dent fix , 2 cars rolling out the shop had to be jumped including mine. Got in the car to a blank radio screen. Won't come on for nothing. Anyone know a fix to this ? Worked fine before it went into the shop , was it the jump start that caused it ? The anti theft system ? Low battery ? Please help. Thank you it's a 2017 Chevy equinox LS .

Always start with a fully charged battery - if they jumped it, then it may be weak or at minimum need a deep charging.

Check the fuses for the radio, probably result of a jump rather than actually charging the battery. It could be more than fuses though,

"Like most electronics, a power surge can cause damage to the electronic systems of a modern car. A seemingly well-meaning jumpstart can cause said power surge and impact the effectiveness of onboard computers, safety systems, damage the engine and be the result of expensive repairs."

Yikes, probably fried a fuse. I'd be going back there to complain.
