Hey guys. My names Ben, I am new to the forum. I have a 1996 Dakota V6/automatic/2wd. I searched and didnt find my issue. So here it is:

I have no FM stations any more. AM works, clock works, tape deck works. All i get with FM is static. Also, lets say i put the radio on preset 1 which is 102.3 and i get static, i manually change the station to say 94.1 and its dead silent. Turn the radio off and turn it back on its back on 102.3.

Any suggestions?

Thanks guys

-Ben

 

The FM tuner pack in the radio is probably bad. A good car audio shop can repair it for you. I don't know exactly how much it would cost to fix it but I would guess at least $100.00. You can replace the radio with a good aftermarket unit that will play AM/FM, CD and probably MP3 or Ipods for less than $150.00 nowadays. It might be a good idea to shop around for a new one before fixing the old radio.

+1 on getting a good cheap aftermarket deck. i got a JVC arsenal deck for $120 at visions electronics. it will sound better than that stock crap you got anyway

and welcome to the forum

 

Heck the $30 walmart radio will sound better then stock.
