I have a 1993 240 Classic Edition sedan, which I love. Of course it has ce rtain things that don't work as well as they should -- the power mirror con trols need to be replaced, the intermittent setting for the wipers doesn't work, the driver's door lock has given up the ghost, and the auto locks hav e just this week stopped working -- but it's overall reliable and has great AC, which is important right now!
Anyway, just yesterday I started the car and the radio displayed CODE, as i f the battery had been disconnected. I entered the code, and the proper di splay came up, but there was no sound from the radio at all, on any station , not even static. In the same trip I noticed that the power antenna remai ned up, even when the radio was off and even when I turned the car off. To day I got back in the car, and I had the same experience with the radio: it displayed CODE, I entered the code, the proper display came up but the rad io was dead. The antenna is still up.
Before I take this to my expensive mechanic, does this sound familiar to an yone? Can anyone give me a hint at what the problem might be? Might I dare hope that both this and the auto lock problem are fuse issues? I used to have a fuse tester years ago, but no longer.
Anyone?
Thanks in advance,
Patricia
