The deck is shot. yoour better off to get an aftermarket. i have had a few rangers and windstars come into the shop with that same problem. the customers all wanted the fact deck back though so i was not able to take it apart and find out what was wrong with it.

Nothing is impossable, it's just more expensive.

You won't hurt anything by opening it to take a look. It's not like the unit's under warranty or anything. You may simply have a solder joint that's severed.

If you decide it's something you don't want to mess with, I do have a fully functional replacement collecting dust here. I bought it on ebay maybe a year or so ago for my dad's Crown Vic. He swore the cd/cass unit was an option. It ended up not fitting because of the a/c ductwork behind the radio, but I did plug it in to ensure everything was working. You can have it cheap if you want it. Make an offer if you're interested.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
