I assume FM/AM doesn't have sound either?

I am going to guess the radio fuse popped when the battery was reconnected. I can't think of anything else that might cause it when replacing the battery. Unless the radio needs some sort of unlocking after being separated from a power supply? Can't remember all the nuances of the last gen Bonnie electronics.

Have you tried changing the stereo to AM/FM and messing with the balance/fader?

Does the door chime sound when you open the door with they key in the ignition?
