SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Radio reception coming in weak on FM stations and not at all on AM stations may be due to the antenna plug short circuiting inside the radio. This
condition is similar to a failed antenna.
DIAGNOSIS
To determine whether the radio or antenna is at fault:
1.
To gain access to the back of the radio, slide the radio out of the instrument panel without disconnecting any wires.
2.
Turn radio on and tune to a local AM station.
