This sounds to me like the antenna wire may have become loose in the back of the radio. It just took a few weeks for it to become free. :) If you can maneuver your arm behind it, you should be able to push the connector back into the hole in the back of the radio. But the safest and most practical way to do it is to remove the radio from the dash and plug it in that way. :)

I hope this helps! Let me know if I can be of further assistance. :)

My radio only works for a short distance then goes staticky, also can't set the time

the operator guide in the glove box , covers time set.
all radios do that.
and if not normal, the antenna is broken or fell off the rear of radio.

if got static switch to FM ,
many AM stations, broadcase to am and fm same content.
so use FM. its static free. (by design) but does fade sooner.
you can in fact hear AM station 12,000 miles away it night
called super stations, 50,000 watt stations. ive done this many time.

did you try another car, in same spot , and same station?

The factory radio, in my Cadillac CTS 2003, comes on, but only has static. No radio channels will play. Any suggestions?

The antenna plugs in to the back of th radio. it could have came loose and fallen out. When you pull the radio and if the anteena is secure in it, then you have lost the receiver in the radio, very rare, Replace the radio at this ppoint.

AM radio has constant static -- FM is perfect, as is the sound system. The AM radio has no static when engine is not running. Please help

the cause of this is a defective is due to one of the following:
1. Antenna is defective or Antenna coax lead to radio shield ground
2. Antenna ground is dirty or corroded
3. Poor radio chassis ground.
