I've got another head unit from a '91 SE-R that I might could swap in to test, or ditto the head from my '93, but the connector pinouts on the back are prob. different. Aggravating thing is that when it is making noise it is doing it all the freaking time, but when it goes away you never know when it will come back.<br><br>Ideally there's some visual indicator of something wrong. I don't like throwing parts at problems. It does not comport well with my engineering and Red X head. <br><br>What do you mean that your problem specifically includes the volume control? <br><br><br><br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 255); padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px;">-----Original Message-----

I have the same problem and it specifically includes the volume control as well. In my case the speakers, at a minimum, are mostly shot. I say skip the fault isolation (problem found - it's old!), and if you're not a purist, have one of the local shops put in a passable head unit for a hundred bucks or less (they're always advertising because they want to get you in there and sell you "up" as well as high margin speakers and installation) since you're not in the car much anymore and buy new (or passable used) speakers you will install yourself (with new wires/connectors). Insure clean connections/grounds and you'll be set. More quality, it goes without saying, equals more cost, your choice. Now, why haven't I done it
