tape deck dilema
Any body have any idea why a tape deck doesn't produce any sound when being played? I have 2 factory radio tape deck combos for my 86 aspy. one plays and works fine but the second one's radio works but no tunes from the tape deck. I recently changed the drive belts on both so I don't think it's that. When I plug in the second stereo you can hear the speakers come on but like I said no music. Any advice here would be a real plus. Thanks, Joe

Joe - I don't want you to think - that I think you are dumb , but have you tried cleaning the tape head ? A long swab with some rubbing alcohol works well Tongue . ------WngDng------

Yea, I did that when I changed the drive belt. And yes I am setting the mode to tape deck.

This may sound silly but I always try to troubleshoot starting with the easy stuff. Have you tried different tapes? When I bought my SEi, I rummaged around for some old tapes and found one of them was worn so thin it wouldn't play correctly.

No I haven't tried that. I will try a different tape as soon as I go out to the shop. I like simple anyhow. It seems to be all my little bitty mind can handle. I would like to fix whatever the problem is so I can sell it as a complete working unit. I have a complete wiring harness to rig it up in the shop with and I ran across the wiring diagram for it the other day so maybe I wont have to keep pulling it in and out of my bike. Thanks for the advice, Joe
