I changed the encoder in the radio control panel of my Ford Fiesta. The old encoder was doing sound reduction and amplification but not on/off. The newly installed encoder, on the contrary, worked on and off, but it does not reduce or increase the sound at all.I'm waiting for your help20230719_123223.jpg20230719_123240 (1).jpg20230719_123223.jpg20230719_123223.jpg20230719_123223.jpg20230719_123223.jpg20230719_123240 (1).jpg20230719_123258.jpg20230719_123306.jpg20230714_141941.jpg20230714_142008.jpg20230714_142019.jpg20230714_142028.jpg

Hello, I replaced the encoder in the radio control panel of my Ford Fiesta. The old encoder did attenuation and amplification but not on/off. The newly installed encoder, on the contrary, turned on and off, but did not reduce or increase the sound in any way.

Sounds like you have either damaged other part of the board with the changeover ...or...... you did not check the new encoder for the same /different terminal pinouts.
There are plenty of videos these days that help with things like this to show how to test replacement parts.

For example, the new encoder could have the A,B and common on different pins.

Or, it is possible the centre common pin is connected to ground whereas your old one may not.

Contrary to many reports, the age old "ah, only 3 wires, what is there to know" ...........doesn't cut it.

hello, thank you for your answers. I did not damage the card. There is only one option left, the pinouts are different. I have no idea how to detect pinouts

I don't get it... you have a Ford fiesta as well... with the same problem?
In the United States we have car junk yards were people can come in and dismantle parts and components, radios, heaters, lights that sort of thing for price$, perhaps you can get lucky if you have something in your area like that.

Well, I could give you a complete run down but not about to waste my time on something you can Google.
Note...not only detect pinout BUT also look for any that might be grounded.

The OP posted the thread in Turkish. I simply used google translate and copied/pasted.
