  • My Volvo 740 Turbo had a sweet vintage sound system installed from the factory, but it just wouldn't play cassettes properly. The deck was stuck in autoreverse. This hack will let you fix your car's tape deck for just a penny. Car audio is seldom so easy!
    Thankfully, a penny in my pocket proved to be of assistance. Here's how you fix it yourself.

    before you did this fix- did you see if the belt was broken? my drive belt is broken and keeps switching directions then ejects. If i did your bypass actuator fix would you still need the belt drive?

    Have a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo with a factory Jeep 56002467(1991) AM/FM Cassette Player and just swapped out the tape modules in two 2467 cases. Now I have me some rocking tunes. Now what I want to know is when either the left or right channel goes out what is the cause on a 2467 and on a 56009004(1992) the volume is maxed out but I still need just a little bit more volume.

    • @WhatUpTKHere
      @WhatUpTKHere  20 дней назад

      Hm, that's tough! Any dry solder joints or loose wires? Sometimes twiddling the volume knob back and forth can clean it up and help too.

    Hi.Am I missing something.The relay coil is a change over switch for direction when tape spool hits end of tape.Doing this renders the cassette useless

    Mate i have a 940 and looks like we have the same tape deck but my problem is the cassettes wont play at all, so the tape isnt spinning but when i press fast forward i can see it move, any tips to get it to work ?

    • @WhatUpTKHere
      @WhatUpTKHere  3 года назад +1

      Take it apart and give it a nice thorough but gentle clean. Motor could be gummed up and not turning when it should be playing at regular speed

    • @justinziegler2248
      @justinziegler2248 2 года назад

      Get it to play, and jam something in above the tape, not super jammed, but like a piece of cardboard. It's the easiest way to stop the front back front back bullshit. Usually just holding the fucker in better works too. It's just because it's so worn out.

    Why don't you just get another adapter that works instead of destroying your stereo? Something unexpected will happen if you leave that penny in there with the solenoid going all the time. Those solenoid parts are only made for momentary use. You have no idea on what your doing. That didn't fix it. Just go ahead and leave that penny in there and see what happens.

    • @WhatUpTKHere
      @WhatUpTKHere  5 лет назад +5

      Been in there for well over 8 months and still works great.
      If you watched the video, the issue was with the stereo, not the adapter. It wouldn't play regular tapes either.
      Now it plays everything, and my roadside fix made the rest of that roadtrip remarkably more enjoyable. Plus, my car retains that stock aesthetic.
      There's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution that works, buddy.

      Smart! How do you fix the sensor? I assume it's buried in the drive gearing which would be a pain to get to.
