Clarion Audio

I've been lurking on the list for a long time and have been impressed by
the quality in the answers I've seen. I'm hoping you guys can help me out
with this one.

I've got a 1993 900 (non-turbo, automatic) and I'm having a problem with
the Clarion/Saab tuner/tape deck. The radio always comes on, however,
frequently the sound is accompanied by a horribly loud hissing and
scratching noise (almost as if I had an onboard record player with the
needle bouncing along the record). The noise comes and lasts for several
driving hours (although the noise makes the radio/tape virtually
unlistenable), and then mysteriously stops for another several driving
hours before beginning again.

The noise is volume independent, present with both the radio and tape
playing, and comes through all 4 speakers. It would be ideal if I could
swap out the removable deck for another unit to check the internal wiring
vs. the unit, but I haven't been able to find another deck. Besides
replacing the whole audio system, any ideas?

Thanks,
Greg Kapp
