Odyssey, radio works, speakers dont; engine causes buzz in speakers when lights on
Greetings,
I have a 1997 Odyssey. Three days ago the speakers to the radio stopped working. The radio, itself, works -- the LCD lights up, you can switch stations, switch to CD, etc. -- you just can't hear it. The speakers are silent. At least they were silent until last night when I was driving with the lights on. Then there was engine interference -- a whining buzz directly linked to the speed of the engine. The faster the engine was spinning (OK, the engine wasn't spinning, but the parts inside it were) the higher the buzz. The interference is only present when the lights are on -- it goes away when the lights are off. Also, now I cannot turn my parking lights off. I a confident all these events are linked, and I leave it to some clever diagnostician to give me some insight. Thanks in advance for your help. Frank |

Re: Odyssey, radio works, speakers dont; engine causes buzz in speakers when lights on
The amp section of your radio is out. There is no getting around it. You
might want to check all the radio fuses. Don't know about the 97 but the 99 on the same fuse feeds the accessory sockets and the audio unit. Do your accessory sockets work?

Do you mean that the radio is kaput and need to be replaced? I will check the radio, fuses, and sockets. I don't understand why I am getting interference from the engine now when I never did when the radio worked. Does the amp offer some kind of shielding? I discovered that banging on the steering wheel affects the whinning buzz -- it might make it softer or louder. It's all very interesting. Ted |

Your now faulty stereo is probably back-feeding power onto the parking lights wire, thus you can not turn the parking lights off. The real question is which of your kids emptied a vanilla Coke inside the stereo? Regardless, I think your stereo is toast. |
