No power to radio after battery change. Do i need to reset something? Have been told Early radios may need to have a plug pulled out on back to reset. Any suggestions? Thanx in Advance!!!

No idea. My battery has been disconnected at least ten times and never had a problem. Sure you haven't knocked a wire off the battery itself?

Problem solved

Computer not communicating with radio trouble code. I unhooked neg. battery terminal for 5 min. Reconnected battery, started motor up and presto skipper 500 working! Skipper 500 needs to be connected to computer for the vehicle speed volume adjustment feature i guess?
