Default Radio Volume goes crazy? Maybe a short? (mini-van)

Hi,
Does this radio have a digital or analogue (rotating knob) control for the
volume?
It would help the group if you could give more specific details about the
set itself ( Makers name model No ) I think there is a loose or temperature
sensitive connection inside the set although if it's all digital the bad
connection just might be outside, It's not likely to be anything to do with
the speakers. If there is a short in the speaker wiring then the output amps
will burn up.
Best of Luck,
Pete

We have a Winstar mini van, 4 years old. Most days when I listen to
radio the volume all of a sudden goes full volume (or sometimes off).

In
the summer time I had a different problem. The radio station would
switch all of a sudden to a different channel. Or it would switch from

cd
to radio, all on it's own. Could a short in the wiring that going to the
speakers, cause such a problem? This van has been in a medium front end
collision (damage in the rad and bumper area), and has been fixed. As

far
as I know there is no wiring relating to the radio that goes anywhere neat
the front of the van. I would like to find the least expensive way to

fix
it. If it is a short, I could take out the radio unit and see if I can
find a short. Any ideas? Thanks.
