Since you haven't gotten many suggestions, I'll throw in a long shot. I am more familiar with the Clarion radios in older models. Is that what you have or were they installing Harmon-Kardon in '94? In any case, some of the Clarion models have a lithium battery inside the radio. At this age, it might have gone flat, particularly if it was disconnected from the power source for several days. When the battery is gone, all sort of odd things happen with the radio - not accepting the code might be one of them. I hope this helps.
