problem #3

Explorer Eddie Bauer V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

Radio volume control has a mind of its own. Actually it has lost its mind. Turning the volume knob incites it to an even greater effort towards deafening the occupants. Maybe that's what killed the hearing in my left ear last year ?

I think that I read somewhere(internet) that squirting tuner cleaner into the control helps the problem. I haven't tried it yet, but I bought my wife a can for Christmas and am getting ready.

Explorer XLT V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

The radio volume goes up really loud when you are trying to lower the sound. What a nuisance especially when you are talking or trying to talk. Dont know what the cost of repair would or replacement would be but other people need to be aware of this problem.

Explorer Eddie Bauer 3.2L V6

When lowering the volume it will intermittently go up. This happens on both the knob and the steering wheel controls.
