Am car radio not working

shared by 3 users

posted by jimarmstrong on Jan 06, 2008


I have a Ford pick up truck that the am radio does not work with the engine running. It works on the accessory when the key is turned to it, but the minute you turn the key to the on position or with the engine running I get only static. The plug wires are good and the plugs as well. I can't find a noise suppressor in the system. what should I do? Antennna and cable are new. thanks Jim

My radio developes noise on & off in my '99 Ford Ranger. I'll be driving along and all of a sudden I get radio noise. Gets worse when I step on the brake or turn on a turn signal. Then goes away as quickly as it came on.
