Hi,
My car radio has stopped working in FM mode (every now and then will work for a few seconds), it still works in AM and the CD player works, its just FM that gives me the problem. Does anybody have any ideas before I go and buy another one. Oh and by the way, the FM seems to scan and find the correct channels but just no sound - although I may be wrong.
Any advice on this would be great or a point in the right direction. Loose joint or beyond repair?
Thanks to all in advance.
Alex.
Considering you can get a new one for virtually nothing, repair is probably not feasible. I'd guess the signal level is too low and muting is kicking in. That's just a guess since you didn't bother to tell us what brand or model the radio is.
You may want to test it with a new antenna before trying to repair it. Or test the antenna with a 'new' radio. (You can get an old radio at a flea market for $10 or less usually.)
My truck radio cost me $450, plus the $350 disk changer, plus the $55 maintenaince manual. Cheap? I forgot how much that part I bought cost me!

off hand it sounds like a bad solder joint or a faulty switch.
