Audio Systems: Car Stereo Problem, fuse block, antenna cable


Question
I had the battery terminals cleaned and now my panasonic am/fm cassette car stereo will not play the radio, tapes only.  Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Answer
Char,

  it doesnt seem connected to me honestly .. if the unit didnt power up at all maybe but since it gets power i wouldnt think its related to the terminal cleaning .. i would pull the unit out and check to make sure the antenna cable is firmly inserted in the back and also give a quick visual inspection of the cable to make sure there are no frayed or damaged pieces .. also the only thing that could be related to the battery disturbance is a surge of power that might have damaged the tuner that is the only thing remotely possible but that is rare to only affect one item in the unit ... also check the fuses in the fuse block press to make sure all fuses are seated good and no blows... hope this helps you out wish it could be more if you need anything else let me know

thanks
