1996 Millenia L Stereo Issues

May 22, 2004 2 Replies

I just purchased a 1996 Millenia L. The stock stereo is not working properly. While the tuner seeks and locates stations and CD's display as if they are playing, no sound comes out. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this and how I can fix it?



Thanks, Jason Williard


best thing to is buy an aftermarket radio and chuck the stock radio, its probably shot.

Could be a loose connector in the back to the speakers. Have you tried adjusting fade/balance to see if maybe one speaker can emit sound?

Purchase a DIN removal tool off eBay or some auto parts store. Remove the plastic trim strip on each side of the stereo (aka HU) and insert the DIN tools to unlatch the HU. Slide out the HU and check the connections in the back. If all looks good, the HU is probably shot.
