BRILLIANT HACK THIS 👍 Uk. I done what you said,took all the plastic gears out,leaving the eject gear in. I have to put the adaptor in,press rewind,Then press forward so rewind button comes back out THEN the music starts playing fine. Nice to play music from my phone now. BRILLIANT HACK THIS IS.
Thank you soooooo much.....I hope this helps mine cause I riding and can't play my music. I hate the radio they only play three songs I like on the radio. So I'll try this later on this morning and hopefully this wrong. You where great at explaining in detail. When I put the adapter in the tape player and the arrow clicks up and down, basically switching from one side of the tape to the other side.
i tried all this before realizing it was a problem with the wires' connection to the circuit board. so for anyone reading this: if you're gonna open up your cassette adapter, the first thing you should look for (before taking out all the gears) is if the two tiny little wires are connected to the green chip. also, if your car isn't playing the right or left earbud's part of the song, one of the wires is probably already disconnected. when trying his advice to "take out all the gears", my car just started ejecting the adapter as soon as i put it in. i guess some cassette decks don't accept cassettes with gears missing.
Thanks for sharing your fix. I had replaced my Swaybar Links before (with same 10 inch) but it didn't fix my clunk (it got a little better for a week or less but that was it). Today I replaced the Swaybar Bushings and the link again (but with 12 inch links) and my clunk is gone. I noticed the old right side swaybar bushing and swaybar looked much more worn. This makes me think the RH side is heavier. Anyway, I sure hope it stays gone for good. Thanks again.
I wish the grommets and nuts were that simple on my 1999 Honda Accord. I have to force the grommets past a flare on the bolt before I can reinstall them.
IN MY EXPERIENCE- People who don’t know the daisy chain method for power cords fight it so hard. I’ve had 2 guys come to me at work to tell me not to roll them up that way anymore. I guess I’ll have to reluctantly stop the daisy chain method from now on, for their convenience, and the sake of my job.
