Radio problems 850 94

posted by  someone claiming to be Jason D on  Mon Dec 10 05:57 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Just bought a '94 855 Turbo, love it.

That being said, need to do something about the radio.

At low volumes (around town volume), the front right speaker doesn't work. If I turn it up to highway speeds, it emits an extremely loud scratching noise as I dial up and then the speaker works. Every time I touch the volume knob it makes the loud scratching noise.

Anyone seen (heard) this before? I was thinking maybe a loose wire. Where should I start looking?

If it's the head unit and can't be fixed, should I buy a replacement? Aftermarket?

I am not really concerned with "Concert" audio, just something that sounds good. Current head unit controls the CD changer in the back. Don't know the part # of the unit, but will supply it if needed and you can tell me how to find it.

Thanks!

-Jason
