Ok folks. In my Sierra I have a ford sound 2000 radio cassette player and I can’t get it working.
It has 3 static dash lines and whatever I press nothing works!
Help!

Hi Steve,
Perhaps you need to enter a code?
Andrew.

Tried but I can’t. Read elsewhere that lines need to be flashing? Mine are not.

Andrew.
Some had 3 or 4 pin codes and some didn't.

I thought they had 4 digit codes as I looked on you tube at this ? And they are . Might be faulty Steve I think it will be easier to get a e bay one with the code .
They do lock up if the wrong code is in and you have to wait for the thing to reset how long I can’t remember .

Trying to remember what my XR did Can't remember if lines flashed or not. Easy enough to put the code in if you have it.

Yes your right Andy that first video was a later radio , but hope the 2nd one is right funny as we have all had these radios and you forget how to put the code in.

Similar radio with three dashes. Perhaps just keep waiting and trying?

Try disconnecting then reconnecting the battery to see if that helps.

I think the dashes will start to flash if you leave it on for a while but of course you will still need the code

Leave unit switched on and powered up so you can see the dashes for at least 30 minutes, they should then start to flash at which point it will take the code. Will send you a picture from the manual once i work out how ro upload images.

Can't remember if lines flashed or not. Easy enough to put the code in if you have it.
