I replaced the antena on 2006 Corolla by splicing it on the old wires. The radio comes on and works great for a minute or so and then display flashes and locks up with no sound. Any help out there?

You likely blew a fuse for your lights. Here is a wiring diagram for the original radio.

Check for coins or other metal objects that may be shorting out the cigarette lighter. Shorts would usually fry the fuse.

the actuator might have been disconnected from the lock, its attached inside the door, with a metal rod that clips into the actuator, check it out, might be a easy fix, good luck and god bless, please rate me!

SOURCE: My 2006 Toyota Corolla won't start. When I turn

Car batteries are very powerful. It's not uncommon for lights and radios to work eventhough the battery is too weak to turn over the engine.

I would try to find someone to give you a jump start. This would atleast help determine if the battery/charging system is the problem.

If it does jump start, let it idle for 10 minutes or so, then turn the engine off and try to start without a jump start. If it does start that would mean that the alternator is working properly. But, if it doesn't start you could have a bad alternator.

If you are able to get the car to a parts place most of them offer a free diagnostic test on batteries and alternators.

I hope this is helpful.

SOURCE: Toyota Corolla Verso 2004 CD problem

I've now fixed two of these units and they both had identical problem and solution.
The problem was an intermitant fault, that after a random time, would result in a noticable snap and a failure of the sound system both radio and cd player.
Solution:- In both cases this is diy fixable with just some screwdrivers and a soldering iron.
First remove unit; this is done by unsnapping the two trims that house the face air vents this then exposes the fixing screws 2 at the rear 2 at the front, remove screws then theclimate control facia ,this allows the unit to come out far enough to unplug all connections both to the hazards ect and the radio unit.
Once out, remove the radio lid and the facia housing the controls, this just snaps out of retainers that you systematically release with a screwdriver. remove side supports marked L & R then this exposes a number of screws to remove including a small side panel that allows you to unplug the cd interface. Note ; it is not necassary to remove the cd player from facia plate. remove two screws exposed by removing control panel then remove ribbon from socket that supports lcd screen. This should then allow you to gently ease the radio unit clear of the facia plate and cd. Once clear remove all screws retaining back plate and pcb and lift pcb clear of case. Now viwed from the top and front you will see a heat sink that supports 4 big transisters , re-solder all legs of these transisters (3 legs each) this has cured the problem twice for me now. Assembly is reverse of reassembly plug in and check out those sounds,
