I see. You have to find an old electronic engineer in order to replase the broken thread that brings the rotation from the knob to the variable capasito in order to tune the radio stations. You can try by yourself but be carefull if possible to find out the line that the thread has before the accident. After the replacement try to fit the on screen reading with the radio station's broacasting frequency. The thread must not be elastic or plastic (usually they used silk thread) Reply if a problem. Stelios.

It's not the wiring. It is the radio tuner. It is broken and if it is a mechanical tuner, needs a mechanical part like a small rubber band that connects the knob to the tuner, or if it is electronic, probably needs a new tuner.
Since most radio's have digital displays these days, to have a pointer move along a dial implies it's either old or a retro model. In any case all that will have happened is that the chord or something in the drive that moves the pointer will have either snapped off or broken. It shouldn't be too hard to repair, though it can be a bit tricky to set it up right.
This may help: If you take off the front of the radio (don't forget 2 screws in back!) you will notice a set of black and red wires running from the 2 AA backup batteries to the digital display circuit board. The wires plug into the board with a little white plug. If you unplug this the display will fade to nothing. If you plug it back in it will display an unset digital clock format. This seems to reset the radio, after which it should work.
This worked for me (radio in 2003 VW Golf):
Radio says "CHECK" but is otherwise unresponsive. Turning car or radio on/off doesn't help.
On the far right of the radio, there's a round TUNER button. Press it for 5 seconds. Your screen will then show some digits, but the unit is still unresponsive.
Press tuner button again for 5 seconds. Radio should now be 100% again. Let me know if this works for you.
