Jim, The key must be on for the radio to operate. You must also let the radio?warm up before you get any noise out of it. It's got some tubes in it and it will take about 45 seconds to a minute for them to warm up.

Hello club...I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I don't remember how it was in my 62 Newport when I was 16. Anyway, when I bought my 62-H last fall, the radio didn't work. Does the radio need the key on to work? I know my power windows don't need the key to operate, but I don't remember about the radio. I know someone out there knows..... thanks Jim Maiani Houghton Lake MI 300-H ----- Original Message ----- From: Warren Anderson To: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; Bob Jasinski Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 12:57 PM Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] Fluid for convertible top mechanism I do know for sure that petroleum based anything in a hydraulic brake system that is designed for DOT 3 fluid is disasterous. DOT 4 can be used in place of DOT 3 but is mostly used in European cars and has higher temp specs than does DOT 3. I just replaced all the rubber pieces in a three ton truck that had dump bed hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic brake system. Cost to reverse that little mistake cost the upfitter a back charge close to 6K. Anything petroleum based does not belong anywhere near a hydraulic brake system and it would seem reasonable to me to extend that thinking to a top mechanism also.
