I knew this when I bought it, but it wasn't a big factor in my decision. That said, it would be nice to fix or replace it. The only channel that works (both for the radio and CD player) is the right channel, and in fact, the only speaker I can determine is producing sound is the one in the right door. There are 2 dash-mounted, 4 door-mounted and two on the back deck. I took the radio out, unplugged and re-plugged it, to see if a connection had worked its way loose. It hadn't. I took the speaker out in the left door to see if there were connection problems there. There were none. I'm thinking of going on e-bay, where there is no shortage of Volvo radios for $50-$100. But I would hate to go to the expense, change it out, and then have it work the same. Any suggestions that I haven't yet thought of?
As always, thanks!
