Go to a radio installation shop and have a test done on the aerial and wiring. It may be in the wireless and needs tuning properly on the bench

SOURCE: no am reception and poor fm reception - 2004 Kia Sedona

If the antenna is on the front, pop the hood, and locate where the antenna wire connects to the bottom of the antenna and make sure it is connected well. If everything checks out there, you will have to pull the radio from the dash, and look at the back of it. There will be a large black wire by itself connected to the radio. Push it in to make sure its connected as well. That could really be your only problem unless your radio happens to have a fault on the inside which is extremely rare. Hope that helps

Fm works but no am. i tried connecting an alpine stereo but still fm works but no am

This problem will only deal with the antenna cable correctly connected behind the unit and up to the exterior roof antenna. Any break in the harness may cause this effect. In early VW's when the antenna was located on the front left fender, owners were complaining of poor reception and static interference from the ignition coil near by. Besides hearing your AM station you also hear electrical noise which changes pitch as you increase the engine speed while keeping FM unaffected. The solution was insulation and relocating the antenna at the farthest part of the vehicle, rear roof. Make sure you have the the right connector for your unit to make a perfect connection.

Following an "incident" with an overhead garage door, roof damage was repaired and the antenna replaced by a reputable body shop, but no reception on AM band and limited FM reception on my '03...

remove the antenna and check that it is connected properly. the body work could have resulted in a poor connection.especially the ground connection to the roof itslef.
