Q: Cassette player not working
The cassette player in my car is not working.
If the cassette player does not play, then get a cassette cleaner and try cleaning it first. If this does not work, then the radio will need to be sent out for repair, or the radio would need to be replaced. I recommend having a mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, inspect your car stereo issue in order to identify and quote the repairs needed.
