car radio fubar

[N cee thirty]

well its the tractor radio but there both the same.

the problem is that it will play but skip and then go off,come back on and be real quiet and then back to normal if your lucky,this is with just the radio on

is there anything i could check on it ? don't wanna spend anymore until i can find out a hammer can be put through it.

cheers

is it sporadic or constant, could be a lot of things, slack wire dry solder joint moisture
any more info may narrow it down, I used to repair taxi radio's for a living
but without a bit more info its hard to narrow it down

press button or dial volume control ?? if button it could be sticking or shorting
if so a clean with an alcohol spray may solve it, if its a dial one that could be more tricky to pinpoint and more likely a fault in the amp or pre amp electronic's

well its pretty much constant

the only time i remember it staying on for 5 mins without going off on one was when i was going slow in a flat field with no jerks,bad connection ?

try sitting still and see if it does it, if its Ok it could be a loose wire, dry joint
particularly on the power side as if the voltave swings it will cut off and have erratic volume or other wierd things happen
if it does it while stationary then its very hard to tell without seeing the unit and seeing whats happening
also look for that screen dimming or getting brighter, it could be part of the power loop about to fail
like a leaky capacitor or damaged diode

hmm remembered it does it with just the ignition on aswell parked up.

while we had a engineer out,we told him and he toke it back to the dealership and tryed it on another tractor and it did the same,never noticed the screen getting dimmer or anything either

its a VDO dayton cd1107 if thats any help

had a quick look on google, pretty newish so it will most likely be all integrated circuits
if it did it on another vehicle i'd have to say its an internal fault and very hard to track without opening it up
and getting a test meter in there to see whats going on
but as you mention its in a tractor (I'm assuming its a tractor not a lorry tractor)
I'd be inclined to think maybe dampness / condensation may have got in and is the culprate
can't really say much more without seeing it but open it up and check the fuse (theres normally one)
or look for any loose or oxidised connections or rust on the fuse holder etc

hmm well the tractor door had been smashed off once or twice so condensation could have got in over night,the fuse is on the outside and is fine


i'll open it up and see whats happeneing

It's a dial one... if it's a big job it can get left. I'll convince the boss it's foobar and to buy a new one

if its a dial type its amost certainly an internal electrical issue
again not easy to track without getting a meter in there and checking it out
but most likely its at the amp stage, does it go up slow or jump quickly ??

Jumps quickly... i tried hitting it incase it was a loose connection. It made no difference

I've never had much luck using a hammer to fix electrical items
but its Bloody good fun trying
