I'm in need of a replacement stereo for my 99 sable. My problem is all the radios I find have the rotary buttons for climate control and my sable is all push button everything. Something inside is shorted and killing my battery unless I pull the fuse.

Cassette tape stuck in the player? Probably need to find an eatc "football" (hvac/radio controls) from a '98/'99 Taurus/Sable. '96/'97 had diff. elec. conn. I'd check a pick-n-pull jy and/or Ebay Motors online.

No tape stuck. One thing I do see is the clock on the radio has another faded copy of itself just a few pixel lines over to the left so something in the board at least is screwed up. And yes I'll most likely shop scrap yard. Was more hoping for a recommendation for a new replacement. The rotary version of this radio I can find new in box all day long. But not this digital one. That's all. Thsnks

Considering on average JY's in my region want anywhere from $75-$125 for (ahem) pre-owned units, that's not really all that bad for a new one. Depending on the part JY prices can swing wildly by region. I've seen posts here in the past where folks in other regions have paid as little as $25 for a replacement. You might try hitting car-part.com to see what parts yards in your area are charging for one to give you an idea how attractive that NOS pricing is.

If you are interested in that one it would be best to verify with the seller whether it is listed for '96-'97 or '98-'99 or whether as NOS it has a conversion plug for both. They do have different connectors
