Pull the volume knob out to enable Balance control. See if it just got moved over.

Thanks for the suggestion,but that was the first thing i did.I hope it's not the amp

Speakers might be blown. Mine on both the passenger front and rear door have already gone out. The tweeter and rear deck are the only speakers that work now.

Had to start with the easy stuff first.

When you turn your volumn control...is it scratchy?

Dainos 05-21-2012 01:11 PM

It is scratchy when i initially turn the radio on

boxpin 05-21-2012 01:24 PM

If you move the volume up and down fast do you hear the right side speakers equally scratching or is the volume low then too?

Dainos 05-21-2012 01:49 PM

It's low then too

If you can distinctly tell the difference in the dash speakers then swap them. If the sound does not change then you do have an amp output problem. There are two types of systems.
Internal or external amp. Pretty simple to tell, an external amp is mounted between the radio and the heater core. Most 850s dont have an external amp.

Another option is to talk someone else with a volvo to swap radios with you for a test. Be sure you have the codes for both radios if you attempt this.

New thread: I helped a friend with a radio problem. We swapped radios to find out if his was bad but now neither radio will turn on ???

Make sure you have the codes or you may lose a friend ;)

Sorry that happened but that is not the norm, more so a rare occasion.
