    Radio Problem/Question

    I have a 1993 Grand Marquis. Recently, while listening to the radio, it went dead silent. All four speakers have always worked. All the display works, but it will not pick up a single station. Even when I press "SEEK" to find a station that will come in, the radio stops on no stations. At first I thought there might be a problem with the antennae. Then I put a tape in to find that it will not play any tape either. Any ideas on what the problem is?

    Also, If it comes down to needing a entirely new radio, I was planning on visiting the local junkyard to pull one out of the many models I know they have there. (Ive been many times before). What year models would work and or fit with the 1993 model? Does it have to be that same particular year and stereo? I know they have a few 93's, but the also have many 92's, 94's, 95's etc. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

    Do you have a premium sound radio? If so, there should be an amplifier in the trunk. Check the fuses on the amp.

        check to make sure the antenna connection didn't fall out the back of the deck (you may also need to check the antenna itself for the same issue). If you go hunting for another one... any from 92-98 should fit just fine. They changed the connectors on the back at some point, I just can't remember when that was. You need one that has the side clips made for sliding into a din size hole and not one like the boxes have with side brackets.

          Well if it were the antenna the tape would work. If it were me I would take the head unit out. Test it with twelve volts directly. Directly hook speakers up to the appropriate wires. If you still have no sound, you need a new head unit.
          Maybe something cheap that will last

          You could look on eBay for used head units also
