« on: December 16, 2012, 07:58:22 AM »
Got a 85 Eagle wagon an when you start the car the radio will be on even with it turned off & now it wont work at all. What could cause this an if I had to replace the radio is there one on the market that is direct fit to these cars so I wont have to cut the dash any to make it fit?

If you've got an 85, it should have the modern DIN style opening in the radio bezel.  I haven't done it myself yet, but you should be able to fit most single DIN modern radios into your car.  Good luck!
