Default ford radio - 01-30-2004 , 06:04 PM






OK, so I got the heater going and then the radio packed in. This is a 2000
W reg Fiesta with a ford traffic 3000 radio cassette. Works fine except the
volume button has stopped working ie, the volume is on but I can't turn it
up or down. The volume button also works the bass/treble and the balance
and none of these work either. Please help, I can't hear the radio above 20
mph.

Thanks to JK for the heater tip, it works fine now after fitting the new
valve.

Drive slowly.
Change the radio.
Hit it with a hammer.
Get a walkman.
or
Spray some electrical contact cleaner behind the offending knob. You
never know, it might work.
