radio

Yesterday I dropped off my bf in Dallas, and of course as soon as i got back to Houston my Explorer started doing some weird things. I'm not sure if they are related or several problems that just happened at the same time. The drive to Dallas and back was fine, but when I got home the problems...

Hey everyone! My names Emily. I'm a fairly new explorer owner, bought mine in December 2013. I found this forum by Google, I had (and still have) a broken radio antenna I tried to fix. If anyone has any help with my radio antenna, please let me know! :)

I have a 2006 Ford Explorer. Whenever I turn off the ignition, I am still able to listen to the radio for another 10 minutes. Recently, I installed an aftermarket radio and this feature has disappeared. Is this really a stock radio related feature or can I re-enable it somehow? Thanks in...

I recently pulled my VHF radio off of my family's boat, and was hoping to use in in my Sport Trac. I heard that you need a license to run a VHF and if this is true I was wondering what course is required. Also if I can run a CB frequency or just stay with standard VHF, I have no experience with...

Hey, guys, been a while since I've been on here, but in the past month or so, my 1996 Explorer Sport has developed some odd issues with the speakers. While going on rough roads/terrain, I've noticed that the front driver's side and rear passenger side speaker have intermittently become softer...

Forgive me, I'm sure this is explained somewhere but I cannot find it. My 2003 explorer had an aftermarket JVC radio in and the rear speakers never worked. I'm 99% sure the problem is in the radio/wiring and not the speakers themselves. I pulled it out and found a rats-nest of wire...

I recently got a 1995 Explorer Eddie Bauer with the JBL audio system. The only problem with the whole vehicle is the radio won't power on. When the car is completely off, and I hold the clock button, the time will display. When I turn the ignition and everything comes on, the clock no longer...

I got a new Pioneer 6.1" touch screen head unit for my 04 Sport Trac. Its one of the units with the USB and AUX cables mounted on the backside. Anyone know of such a product that I can mount under my dashboard that lets me pull out my AUX cord when in use and then I can just retract it back...

Hello all, I recently had an alternator replaced as well as a new battery on my 2006 Explorer. After the alternator was replaced, the only electrical issue I had was with my Kenwood Radio not turning on. I've got a KDC-X595. I checked all of the fuses, and none are blown. Is there...

so i have a 96 eb, and as far as i can tell there's nothing wrong, no broken wires no blown fuses, nothing, one day i noticed there is nothing coming out of that subwoofer at all, so other then checking the obvious, fuses wires and whatnot, is there a way to test that power is getting to the amp...

I am trying to install a factory overhead dvd system into my 2004 explorer which never had a dvd system in it. I have the dvd player/mounting bracket and the factory wiring harness all the way up to the radio(all of these were out of a wrecked 2003 mercury mountaineer). I took my radio out and...

This issue has been posted several times in the past 10 years, but none of those posters followed up to explain their fix.......... 1993 limited 4.0 4wd Dome light, radio, drivers electric seat, all not working and the unlock button flashes the headlights! Also the remote does not work - but...

Hey all, Sorry if this has been answered before. I am new to the site and still working my way around. I couldn't find anything close to what I needed so I figured I would make a new thread. As in the title, I have a 98 Ford Explorer XLT and I am working on installing an aftermarket radio...

when ever i take a right turn going over like 10mph my radio grounds out or when just my right tire drops like when going over a bump or hitting a pot hole. im defiantly not an electrical guy so i have no idea where to look. the turning made me think steering wheel but then with the bump i was...

Ok, so this is what happened from start till now. First my truck would not start sometimes, turns out it was just a bad grounding cable, so i got a replacement, go to hook the batter back up, but I put the connectors on the wrong terminals and the horn starts blowing, sparks and the whole 9...

I have an 08 xlt with the standard audio package ( no factory sub). I want to swap the head unit for something that has Bluetooth built in, I would also like to find something that has the mic built into the unit rather than running cable and mounting it somewhere. Any suggestions for decent...

I am attempting to install a Pioneer deh-36ui radio into my 97 Explorer xl I got a Scosche stereo connector FDK106 and connected all the wires, but when I connected to the car, the radio was on and working but there was no sound. Any suggestions? Is there a secret mute button that I don't...

Does anybody have a pinout diagram for the 6 CD Radio? 2002 explorer. no subwoofer, no rear controls, no rear entertainment. I wanted to see if there is a way to hook up a 3.5mm jack to the cd changer input on the back of the unit. I know there is 2 inputs on the back (one for main hookup and...

Hey everyone, This is a 97 Explorer with the premium sound system. This guide applies to all 1991-2001 Ford Explorers. It also does apply to every other Explorer, including Sport Tracs, but may be slightly different. Specifically, panel removal. You will need: Screwdriver Panel...

Anyone have issues such as a vibration sound coming from front speakers (seems to only be driver side) when radio (any channel FM or Sirus)? This isn't all of the time, sporadically. I've tried adjusting bass etc. doesn't help. Thanks!

I have a JBL headunit in my 97 EB, at least it says JBL on the tape deck. But there is no sub in the vehicle. I have the storage pocket. Has anyone heard of a JBL system without the sub? I don't know why anyone would go through the trouble to pull the sub enclosure out and put the pocket in...

I would like to replace my old radio with something new. Choosing a unit isn't the hard part, but finding the correct way to wire it up seems to be. I don't want to open up the dash and find out it doesn't work. I had seen this part and was wondering if it would be what I would need...
