Poor Radio Reception

Mr_Tickle · 30-07-2010, 11:31 AM

Hello,

Having problems with the reception of AM radio (FM is fine). Before I start taking things apart look for loose connections, any tips from anyone on the best place to start. Where does the aerial go, etc? I doubt I'm the first person to have this problem.

Thanks!

The aerial itself is embedded in the rear window iirc.

The connector to the rear of the head unit can come loose as it's quite tight for space behind there and the cabling to the a/c and other stuff is behind there jostling for space too.
