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.
================================
I would bet on a dirty volume control. You could remove the cover and give
the volume control a shot of electrical cleaner and see if that fixes it.
Maybe a bad power or ground connection but no way will the speaker wires do
this. pull it out of the dash, with the unit on wiggle the plugs on the back
and see if you get lucky and find it. GL
