Problem with Honda Civic radio on/off-volume dial
I have a 1996 Honda Civic HX, with a standard AM-FM radio, to which
I've attached an external CD player. The radio's volume dial is also its on-off switch, engaged by pushing in on the dial. I have a problem that has gotten worse over the past few months: When I attempt to turn the volume up, not only does the volume normally not go up, it more often goes down. What will happen when I attempt to turn the volume down is anybody's guess, too. Occasionally I can get it to respond, but only occasionally. I've pulled off the plastic dial button, and am turning the metal rod that goes into the guts of the radio -- but, no luck. I wonder: 1. What the problem is; 2. Whether it's worth fixing; and, 3. If so, whether it might be anything simple enough that I could fix it myself? Any assistance appreciated. |

Problem with Honda Civic radio on/off-volume dial
My personal recommendation is to replace the unit. The easiest way to
do so would be to go to a local shop (car toys, best buy, etc), buy a cheap aftermarket deck of your choosing, and let them install it. If you feel so inclined - you can begin your journey into the wonderful world of car audio and install the deck yourself, also you can put in some new speakers since the stock speakers will, most likely, blow after a few months of being powered by a new aftermarket deck. Then you'll decide you need a subwoofer, which you'll need an amplifier to power...... I could keep going, but I think you get the idea. ~The Lull New At This wrote: I have a 1996 Honda Civic HX, with a standard AM-FM radio, to which I've attached an external CD player.
