Question:

I had a simular problem.   If memory serves me correct, you have to modifiy the adapter to get it to work right.  The deck senses that the tape spools are spitting tape into itself (wrongly as there is no tape inside an adaptor).  You have to put some tape, or something to slow down one of the spools, then it works fine. hope this helps. Matt

Before we put a new head and changer in our ‘92 Sport, I went to Radio Shack and bought their adapter. It worked for several years. You don’t say what brand adapter you have now.

Response:

I had the same problem with my 97 Explorer.  I decided to just get a new one from Radio Shack and it works great!  I’ve got a 5 year old Panasonic portable CD player. hope this helps!

I have a 2000? Explorer with a tape deck and I’m trying to find an adapter to connect my CD/MP3 player.  The adapter I have works fine in my car, but in the truck it just keeps flipping sides and then finally gets spat back out. I have heard that older adapters work better, but that doesn’t really help me.  Does anyone know of a market adapter brand/model that works?  I am getting tired of listening to Abba Gold and Gordon Lightfoot over and over and over and… =-) Thanks in advance!
