How can I fix the volume control on my car?

When I first turn on the car, volume on my radio works. After a few minutes, it stops working. I have tried turning the radio off; if I turn it back on immediately, I can't adjust the volume. If I wait a few minutes, it will work again for a few minutes. Then it will stop working again.

SOURCE: Radio volume knob turns but won't change volume.

It 's the unit. bring it to a repair facility( fairly easy to remove) and have them do the repair . Its a lot cheaper than buying a new unit. If you decide to do this let me know and I'll tell you how to remove and install the unit.

SOURCE: Dashboard Lights not working

I experienced the same after a car detail (inside and outside) exercise. I checked this and another forum. In my case the issue was that the Dimmer dial (to the left of the dashboard panel) had been turned OFF and it was depending on the auto-lights. Whenever I moved from Parking to R or D gears, the dashboards would go off. After I set the Dimmer back to some setting (Full), the dashboard lights stayed ON as before. I did not have to play around with any fuses. Looks like the dial was turned to off position during the inside cleaning.

SOURCE: my 2007 corolla radio has no sound

Just had this problem. Radio comes on, no sound (or it would make a loud static sound if you hit the radio or ramdomly on it's own), everything else is fine, display, CD works etc.. So I bought an identical used replacement radio on ebay, still not working and the same problem.


Then I found a post that suggested looking in the trunk and found that one of the plastic terminals for the wires on the rear speaker had broken off. Wiggled it, and the radio came on.
Problem? Stuffing too much junk in the trunk caused the problem, it snapped the plastic clip where the speaker wire is soldered in (connection was in fact still good), and then it shorted.


Hope that helps.

Radio volume control on 2008 Subaru Tribeca does not work, but remote volume control on steering wheel works. Any suggestions on repairs?

Replace the volume control(rheostat) inside the radio. Only way to fix it. I would personally just live with it until one or the other quits working. Then replace the radio.

The radio plays full volume on right channel when turned on.

Anything I tell you is going to be a guess, since there has been no testing done, and we don't have the model number of the specific radio involved. However...
For a 20 year old radio, the volume and balance is almost certainly controlled by a potentiometer that has input into one leg of the fixed resistance, and the other leg (of the fixed resistance) is grounded. The movable center tap is the output to the amplifier - and its position controls the volume to that channel. If the ground leg becomes disconnected (broken wire, or a cold solder joint, or even a break in the resistor within the body of the potentiometer) then instead of "dividing" the volume, it simply provides a slight resistance inline - short answer: It goes full volume.
You can try running the control full range back and forth, and even just the old time "slap it" approach, to see if you get any static or change. If you do, that pretty well confirms the diagnosis. [If not, it just means the break is not close to touching - still almost certainly the right answer though.]
Only fix is going to be disassembly. You then may be able to find the break (and resolder it), and/or replace the volume potentiometer. Note that if you have remote volume/balance control (controls on the steering wheel), then there is some extra wiring that can likewise be involved. jk

The radio in my Car stopped working, it still come on. When I try to turn the volume up the screen shows VR instead of VOL!! How do I fix this!?? It's a 2003 Kia Sedona!! Help it's a long ride with 4 kids...

Hope you have the reset code . If so remove the battery terminal reconnect after a few minutes and reenter the radio code should be a fix if the radio is not damaged.

Radio

You could have a stuck button that is blocking the rest of the buttons from functioning. Check the hand controls on the steering and if all is ok, try get the radio out and unplug it. If this now gives you heater display and functionality the problem is on the radio itself.

Before you delve too deep, disconnect the battery for a few minutes. Sometimes they just get "confused" and need a reboot! Its worth a try!

Radio stopped working

Check to make sure your Volume is turned off. you did not say if the POWER is not there.

Check to see if you burned out a fuse

Test the Radio with applying power, if you apply power and it still does not work, then you are going to install a new aftermarket Radio and be grateful for it later.

Some Radio's have a FUSE inside, you could have also an Inline Fuse.. Check the Power at the Fusebox FIRST... then work your way to the Radio.

It could be a 1 minute fix

No sound and cd read Paused

I had the same problem a few times. I found that it went into pause mode when the CD was playing and the volume was turned down to zero. Try turning the volume back up. The CD should exit pause mode.
