I just bought a 2003 S-Type from a friend,and the radio acts like it is working, but no sound. I read the manual, it does not troubleshoot this. Am I doing something wrong? The guy I bought it from said it worked fine and it worked during the test drive. The station displays and it says the record being played. I have had the tranny worked on and they might have disconnected the battery, but I would expect it to ask me for my code.

Any thoughts?

Normally no code in USA.

Hunt through settings / try volume. Failing those try battery disconnect.

 

Make sure the phone/mute button is depressed...

 

It does not have the phone.

 

Same advice. See handbook.

 

Tried that. Each time I hit the button, MUTE ON appears on the screen. No sound. Should the second time you push it it should go off?

 

Yes. It's a toggle.

 

Should it say MUTE OFF on the second press? It keeps MUTE ON the whole time.

thanks
Fred

 

Is this not in the handbook, probably the one for audio/radio/etc????

 

Yes it is, it says if there is no phone it will mute the radio. Does not say what a second press will do.

 

The message should disappear and the normal sound level will return.

 

Nope no sound, it seems odd that the switch works for ON but not OFF. I need to get some maintenance done, maybe the shop has seen this before.

thanks for your help
