No AM radio in 93 accord.
My grandfather was here today and said the AM radio didn't work in his car.
I took a look at it and fm worked fine so I figured maybe a problem with the tuner. I replaced the deck with a spare I had lying around still no am on the new one. FM works fine but I can't get a lock on AM no matter what I try. Any ideas what could be causing this problem? |

Antenna.

I suspect that it just broke or stopped working. Murphy's Law states that anything that can break will break. If it is broke--you should not buy a new Honda radio. Instead, visit a store that sells and installs car radios. If they have a special sale--buy one and have them install it. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

Any ideas what could be causing this problem? ---------------------------- If you did a plug-n-play swap with a second Honda stereo, and neither one will get AM, the antenna has a short to ground, or an open on the ground side. That's the only thing it can be. The radio is plenty grounded when you screw it down, as well as thru the harness. 'Curly' |
Re: No AM radio in 93 accord.
The antenna works for both, like motsco stated, it's probably grounding
somewhere. FM signals are stronger than AM signals. If you ever had a controllable power antenna, the FM will still work with the mast down. I have a friend whose too lazy to replace his antenna mast, and bitches he can't get Sports Radio, but his FM works fine. Check or change the antenna wire. I suspect it's cut some where along the line to the mast.

AM won't work without the antenna even if you're parked directly under the transmitter tower. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
