I have a 1991 LX 5.0 convertible with a Ford factory am/ f/m cassette radio. The radio was working fine and then stopped working. Everything on the radio lights up and I can hear the tape turning when I insert a cassette tape, but no sound from any speaker. When it first started doing this it would play for awhile then shut off, then play again, and finally nothing. I got another factory radio from Ebay and still no sound from any speaker. Again I can hear tape turning no sound from speakers.

All fuses in fuse panel are working.

I. Started disconnecting speakers one at a time to see if that made a difference, it did not, still no sound.

2. Don't see any amplifier or wires under passenger seat.


I want to purchase an aftermarket a/m, f/m , c/d player, but I don't want to spend the money for the unit, wire harness, etc and still have no sound from speakers!!

Could the amplifier be located somewhere else for a convertible?

Any clues on what the problem could be?

Thanks

Larry

Im not sure if convertables were different from hardtops but mine was behind the factory radio. Instead of wiring my new deck in to the stop harness i just ran all new speaker wire, to every speaker!

If it'a 6 speaker car (2 dash, 2 door and 2 in the hatch area) then the amp in under the center console in front of the shifter. Not under the seat.

Mine does the same thing... I believe it is most likely due to the cold because more often then not it occurs when it cold outside at night or in the morning....
