'94 Caravan has the infinity stereo with tape player and equalizer. Unit works as it should in warm weather, but when it gets cold out the radio will not play, and the 'tape' icon is lit up on the display although there's no tape in it. It appears that the unit senses that there's a tape inserted, which causes the radio to be cut out since it's trying to play a tape -- and, since there isn't one -- it plays nothing. After the vehicle's interior temp warms up, the unit performs as it should.
Does anyone know if this is a common problem with these units? I have located another one in the local salvage yard but don't want to switch them if the replacement one is likely to do the same thing.
It's my son's van and he has talked about getting the original unit repaired, but I don't know how feasible that is, nor where exactly you could count on getting it done right and at a reasonable cost.. TIA
