Strange radio noise problem on '04 Santa Fe
 

Hi everyone!

When driving my 2004 Santa Fe I get a lot of white noise/static on the AM
stations. However if I gently press on the brake - only pressing it down a
1/2" or so - a majority of the noise goes away. I'm assuming that when I
press the brake pedal even slightly (no braking action) a switch is
activating and causes the radio noise to reduce. I only recently started
listening to AM so I don't know if this has been this way since buying the
car which now has about 34k miles on it. The radio is the stock am/fm 6-cd
changer that comes with the Santa Fe

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I've seen issues where
additional ground straps have been added to engine compartments and problems
with plug wires - but not one like this.
