ok i have i 94 ford taurus...it have the orginal radio/casette deck. recently its be shorting out the radio will be on then switch over to "tape" and u will be incompetent to switch it back (it switches backbone eventualy) but even when it does switch over to "tape" if u put a tape it wont play the cartridge (only when it does the switch....if the radio IS working and u put a tape within then the video works)...does any one have any clue what the problem could be ...fruitless wire or the unbroken system shot?...i want to keep the tapedeck because i resembling to use it for my ipod plus im broke and cant afford a new sysem...i own my brothers radio from his old vehicle but its a new radio but have no tape deck (has cdplayer) is near something i could do to fix my radio (tweak the wire or somthing) or am i better rotten using my brothers radio and not beable to use my ipod?


Answers:    your radio is known for bleak power switch and cassette mechanism problems. the problem is most potential the internal radio-tape switch which is in the video mechanism. best solution is a replacement am fm cassette or cd. sony still make an am-fm cassette that can be installed in your motor. it is about 100 at best buy. your radio can be repaired by any ford authorized servicer but it will run roughly 200 and in my inference isn't worth it. if you gotta have cassette, buy the sony. in attendance is really nothing you can do to fix this yourself. looking for a right radio tech locally may be an option. this is a justly easy fix for a technician. if money is the major issue use your brothers radio and look for an fm modulated ipod adapter that plays the ipod thru the fm band of the radio. virtuous luck.
My friend went through this highly same thing while it be still under warranty. He have his replaced 9 times in a 7 month spell. Keeping this in mind, you will be most definately much better past its sell-by date going to someplace such as Best Buy, picking out a new stereo system and hold them install it for free. Ford radios are lousy anyways, and I do seem to remember fairly a few factory recalls issued roughly speaking their radios catching fire, shortening out, etc.
