Smart Fortwo radio panel stays open and won't close properly on Smart Fortwo

Some Smart Fortwo owners report experiencing issues with the radio panel not closing properly, which may be caused by a blown fuse, specifically fuse 20 for the radio. In some cases, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery can help reset the system and recalibrate the screen, potentially resolving the issue. Additionally, owners are advised to inspect radio connections to ensure all connectors are secure and free of loose wires that could prevent the panel from closing. Performing a reset on the radio system by turning it off and back on may also help address technical glitches. If these solutions do not rectify the problem, consulting a professional or car audio specialist is recommended for further diagnosis and repair.
