How to Get the Radio to Work on a Barbie Mustang Car

The Barbie Ford Mustang car is a Power Wheels ride-on toy manufactured by Fisher Price. It is designed for use by kids ages three and up. The car is equipped with a simulated radio that plays pre-recorded music. If the Barbie Ford Mustang is fully assembled but you are unable to get the radio to work, there are two possible causes, according to the Barbie Ford car manual. Either the batteries for the simulated radio need to be replaced or the dash connectors need to be plugged together.

3 AA batteries

  Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the underside of the dashboard where the simulated radio is located. Set the screws aside in a safe place.
