Is my truck radio fried?

[just plain john]

99 Chevy 1500 with factory AM/FM/CD. Battery terminals were crossed in a botched jumpstart, and now the radio face reads LOC and the red security light blinks. Anyone have a clue? Still has power to the radio.

It needs the security code, it thinks it could have been stolen.

Where would I find that? The owners manual?

 

[Slow91z]

The code is typically set by the 1st owner of the vehicle, but I don't know if there is a default code, or anything like that...Hopefully someone else will come in here and have more info.
