Original radio, and ghosts!

Well I got an issue, And a strange one. It's almost scary!

Well anyway.

I still got the original 1989 Delco Radio with equalizer and Cassette.

But it is not working. Well sort of.

When I push the power button, I hear the power flowing through the cables. Good. If I insert a cassette in, the light to indicate if the cassette is up or on reverse side is lighting up. Good. Pushing Fast forward is working. Good. But I have no sound.

And there's more. No sound coming from the radio itself. No lights at all. ( no lights from the buttons, no lights from the digital panel. Nothing.

But like I said, Power is there, because The cassette is working. (despite no sound)

Fuse is okay too.

What could it be? What do I have to do next?

To start at the beginning, you have to have 12 volts on the yellow wire (Ign On) 12v on the org wire all times and 12v on the grey wire (Back lighting)

Why are you wasting time messing with it? Get aftermarket. It'll look better and be better.
