NO RADIO RECEPTION
Hello everyone,
I just recently replaced my burned out power antenna on my 92 coupe. The Bose radio got pretty good reception a couple months ago before it broke. I followed the 92 Maintenance Service Manual as best I could. It worked as far as going up when turned on and down when turned off, but NO RECEPTION. I've tried different grounding scenarios, thinking I may have mixed up the wires, but still nothing. If left "on", stations will drift in for a few seconds and then out. My vett has 75K miles on her. Could it be the radio has died or something in the re-installation? Thanks.

Re: NO RADIO RECEPTION (tommy_92WC)
CHeck both AM and FM. If you have any connection at all from the radio to the antenna, you should get some FM reception.
If FM is dead, then eithe there is NO connection from the ant to the radio OR the cable or antenna is shorted to ground.
Do you have an Ohm meter or a buddy who does?
Disconnect the antenna cable. Measure the antenna side, you should show and open from the center to the shield. You should have a connection from the center of the coax to the antenna mast.
Good luck,
Barry
