Radio Error Code and Lights Out

Hello everyone,
2003 Acura TL Type S
I recently replaced my HID bulbs and ballast, which means I had to disconnect the battery. After the entire process I reconnected the battery, entered my code I have been using for two years, and I get an error code.
If anyone could give me a possible solution it would be greatly appreciated.

Also is there a fuse for the fog indicator light and the back light for the clock?

As for the Error Code it sometimes will give you that when the Antenna socket in the Radio is touching the frame of the car or you have a faulty Negative Battery Cable. iirc If the problem persist you will have to remove the Antenna wire from the stereo in order to make the code work.


There is no fuse for the Fog Light Indicator so the Little bulb that lights up the Green Light in the Fog Switch its probably gone.. There is a back light for the clock too you have to remove half of the Dash Panels and A/C Panel to get it.

Thank ypu. I removed the antenna, entered code, and now it works. I pulled the bezel in front of the instrument cluster. It was only two bolts above steering wheel, pry under rear defrost and pry on side of fog switch, pull, remove wire connectors, and the bulbs are right there. I will see how to replace them in the morning.

^ Not the Little Green Light in the Fog Switch.
Fogs themselves have a Fuse but not for the Fog Switch.

I fixed the lighting issue with the clock I purchased a bulb from RadioShack, removed old one, and installed the new one and it worked. However, I tried the same with the foglight switch, and the light did not illuminate. Perhaps I did not direct the leads for the lights properly.
