No FM reception on factory 1996 dodge grand caravan radio

I would look at the antenna connections ... you will need to remove the unit from the dash to get to the back of the radio. [Google removal of that specific radio for your vehicle]. You may be able to get your hand up under some dash boards to reach the back of radio?

The antenna conception is typically a round coax conductor that goes to a plug into the back of the radio.

Try moving the plug around while radio is on ... if you get signal pull out connector and clean contacts with rubbing alcohol. Test again and reinstall.

Hope this helps!

There is a fault in the player most likely the heads need a clean a tape con be obtained to do this .

Can you be more specific? Did you install the speakers trying to fix it or did the problem start after you installed the speakers?

check for fuses or relays

I had the same exact problem. Toyota changed the Amolifier that improved sound quality but not the FM Reception.

THE HARNESSES CONNECTING ANTENNA TO RECEIVER (TWO OF THEM) HAD IAASUES. REPACING THEM FIXD THE ISSUE. FM RECEPTION EXCELLENT NOW !!!!!!!

sounds like a bad radio that shouldnt happen bttery has no effect on changer opperation if the radio powers up the changer should work as long as its a factory radio w an internal six disc changer.

check antenna cable connections at radio & antenna.suspect power antenna if equipped.

check antenna make sure its tight and connected.

it might be that your gadget posses a wrong panel written AM when there is no am tuner. If you can check inside it whether it has a choke wound with copper wire for AM reception. If its missing, its aint gonna have any reception

THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE A RADIO PROBLEM. IT MAY BE WORTH YOUR TIME TO HAVE A DODGE DEALER CHECK THE RADIO TO SEE IF INDEED THE RADIO IS BAD, BUT THEN YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO REPLACE THE OEM RADIO WITH A NICE AFTERMARKET RADIO. THESE HAVE COME DOWN IN PRICE DRASTICALLY AND ARE PROBABLY CHEAPER THAN REPLACING THE OEM RADIO. WITH NO SIGNAL OR STATIC ON THE AM BAND SURE SOUNDS LIKE THE AM BAND IS DEAD.
