Did the car come with service history documents? If not, checking and replacing fluids and filters is a good way to get to know the car. Authorized and bootleg CDs of barely passable factory service manual scans are available. Or spend the money on printed volumes if you’re a DIYer. Oddly, the CDs don’t include transmission service volumes.
The radio was still connected correctly and the multi tester says it has 12 v at all the right places. I sent it to Becker to get repaired and delete the tape deck and put a blutooth module in its place.

How do I know I am getting a Factory service manual. I am a DIYer. Is this one:
