1997 RR, radio won't work, help! - Land Rovers Only

aliciacassarino · 02-13-2006, 01:02 PM

this morning, i had the radio on, and when i pulled out of my driveway, as soon as my front tires got off of the curbing between the driveway and the street, the radio stopped working!! help! please! the cd player works fine, so does the tape player. does anyone know what i should do?? is it a loose wire, a fuse? helllllllllllp!

i have a 7 week old baby that will only calm down in the car listening to a certain classical station, so i REALLY need some advice. there may even be a reward in it, i am THAT desperate.

Sounds like you may have a cracked circuit board inside the radio, if that is the case, it may be time to go radio shopping since repairs on factory radio are expensive.
Sorry,

that sounds terrible and expensive! should i even bother taking it into the dealer to get it looked at?

If you got hands-on you could pull it out and check the connections. Similar thing happened to my dad's mini-van.

thats a good idea too, i'm not hands on, but maybe i know someone who is. i called the dealer, they wont repair it, only replace it for $1600. they recommended calling a car stereo place, and i could only find ONE in town that would work on a range rover. they said it might be an unhooked antenna?? but they would have to take it out and look.
