97 explorer tape deck

Hi all, This may seem like a silly question, But i can't figure it out...

I have a 97 explorer with a tape deck, I bought one of those tapes with the cord coming out that you plug into the "out" jack of a portable cd, mp3, players ect. So one can listen to CD's with a tape deck.

The problem I'm having is my tape deck has auto reverse and keeps switching back and forth between side A & side B. The directions that came with the tape said it needs to stay on side A to work, and to turn off the auto reverse if you have that. So that is the my problem I can't seem to turn off the auto reverse, I was wondering if anyone knows how or even if that can be done with my stock tape deck?

Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks Guys! Freedom420

I had the exact same problem with that. I was using a sony tape adapter. I bought a new tape adapter and it worked fine. i bought a philips

Thanks Tenclub05, I'll give that a try, I'm using a radio shack one. I Let a friend of mine try it in his truck and did the same thing. So I'll try getting a new one...Thanks again!
