Welcome Dobbsey. Well, I'm afraid I don't know how to fix your radio issue, BUT I recently discovered it was way easier these days (and REALLY inexpensive) to replace and upgrade with a new head unit. I put a new Kenwood KMM-BT328U in my truck - light yaers ahead of anything that is very many years old. I haven't used cassettes or CDs for years even though they are in my car and truck. I put 800 of my favourite songs on a mini-USB drive and just leave it plugged into the front of the new Kenwood. You can't even see it if you're not looking for it.

To add to this, it would be a plug and play upgrade/update (other kenwood models would do also - and maintain the steering controls if they state ir compatible).

Another even cheaper alternative would to source a replacement 394 via ebay or a breaker.
