This is my parent's '98 Lincoln Continental w/ approx 110k miles. Car has the AM/FM/Cassette radio.
Radio is unresponsive. The radio stays on 106.7 at a fairly loud volume. Buttons are unresponsive, volume dial is unresponsive, on/off button is unresponsive as well. You take the fuse out, it kills the radio. But as soon as the fuse is put back in place, radio plays and still stays on 106.7 at the same volume.
I think it's an internal radio issue. Such as a bad power connector of sorts. Any fixes? Anybody have this happen to their radio before?? Whats the cure?
If there isn't a cure for it, I plan on finding out what factory ford radios mount in a '98 Continental....hopefully one of those nifty aux input/cd/mp3 players like on the '08's. At least a CD player, that I know.
Unfortunately, the 'rents dont want to put an aftermarket unit in it. I know that's the easiest option.
