Radio Issue - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Okiedoke · 08-21-2014

When I bought the 1991 Z, the radio wasn't working, so the dealer sent the 4 amps and CDM to Factory Car Stereo Repair in Florida for rebuild/repair. Once installed, the radio was working great. However, soon I noticed that the front right speak would not have any sound when I start the car. No static. Then after driving for 20 minutes, the sound would come back. I didn't get a chance to check to see if it's a loose connection and stopped listening to the radio for a few months. Now, whenever I turn on the radio, I just get this whirring sound and the speakers seem to be picking up the engine revs. If I step on the gas, the whirring gets louder. Let go and the whirring goes down. Kind of sounds like you're tuning a CB radio. Any idea what might be wrong and how to troubleshoot?

Thanks,
Harry
