cd player works fine but radio will not tune in just makes hissing noise checked all connections tried reset but no good.radio was in car garaged for 5yrs flat battery etc any ideas please?
I've got exactly the same problem , car laid up for 4/5 years, no battery, cd changer works, mini disc works but radio is just static. Checked all aerial connections with a multimeter and all checks out, took aerial apart anyway and re sanded the earths etc, still no joy.
My dad who is a wizz at most things electric reckons it might be that the radio transistors need time to warm up to get working again, he's suggested runing the radio for 2 hours or so and see what happens - with no other ideas its worth a try.
