Do I need a new head unit? Volume problems...
I have a factory stereo in my Ford ranger and recently the volume has
started going up and down on it's own. When the volume knob is turned 3/4 or higher, the problem rarely happens, but at 1/4-1/2 volume the problem is almost constant. Is the head unit hosed? -- Mac Cool |

It's not digital type. It's an analog type made of ceramic material. And this material could going bad. You can replaced the volumn part if you know how to apart. Go get digital multimeter and measure the maximun resistance of your volumn knob, and you get a part from Radioshack or electronic store. I don't think it's avaialbe in radioshack you have to go to electronic supply store. |

Thanks, I'll probably just get another head unit. -- Mac Cool |
