93 850 GLT radio problems

Post by Mister 93 »

I have a 93 850 GLT with radio problems. The AM/FM reception just goes out when ever it feels like it. The tape works fine all the time. Any clues to what would make the radio reception just drop? If not can someone recomend a good after market with CD?

Thanks,
Mister 93

When it goes out, does it go silent or can u detect static in AM mode?
The sprinklers that come on at 3am sound like crowds of people asking-- "Whatcha doin to that 850?"

When it goes out all FM stations are silent, I get a few AM stations (less than when I get FM signal), most are week . Some are so week that i can pick up my engine reving up. When i accelerate you can hear the engine through the AM static.
