Radio signal
« on: 07 July 2013, 19:02 »
My radio has today randomly started, not picking up a clear radio signal on any station. Anyone had this experience and know what it might be? Cheers

Could be a poor connection as above but if intermittent could also be the elements in the window broken(aerial) or window connections come adrift and signal strength would then depend on the direction the car was facing. There are aerial modules in the radio system that detect which part of the aerial system has the strongest signal and this is another possible fault.

Wiring diagram is at this link may be of use:
