Maintenance/Repairs

My (factory) radio reception deteriorated over the last few months. AM now is pure static and only the strongest FM stations can be heard - with lousy fidelity. AM & FM work perfectly when the engine is off and the key is on “Accessory”. My Sirius radio plugs into the audio input on the faceplate and works fine with the engine on or off, as does the CD.

I remember having to put a capacity on my 1965 LeMans distributor cable to kill the static. I hope we’ve progressed since then!!

Help!
