As above only started this morning, symptoms are same as weak signal, hissing in background and noisy, LW and MW are fine, checked for damp & poor connections under tailgate trim panel all o/k, nice & dry, gave everything a bit of a wiggle but not making any difference so suspect one of the aerial amplifiers, problem is as far as I can see there are three, one on left hand side of tailgate, & one in o/s & n/s rear wings, anyone have any idea which one does what and which one is the likely culprit, not keen on buying all three if it might be something else, help required

Strangely enough mine was in with the supplying dealer for four weeks recently, one item being the rear washer only a minor item the return valve but one the way back and on my drive to Sunbury from Portsmouth the reception was terrible, thought in stripping out the rear spoiler or that area they may have disturbed the ariel connection. I know approximately where I will loose the London stations coming back and need to jump to another station but now I can only just get to Guildford past the M25 and signal comes and goes all fuzzy, even local stations on and off can be fuzzy. It is going back as a number of items confirmed 'on the phone' as complete were not even touched.
If anything is found will let you know. Porsche 993 Targa, Buick Skylark Convertable 1968

Check the aerial connections including amplifier modules etc on all 3 boot windows. Modules high up in the boot side compartments too. A sure fire way of telling is to listen to the radio and turn the heated rear window on. If it makes a difference then it's definitely a connector gone high resistance. I spent almost a whole day fixing this on my old 07 Vogue SE. Most irritating.

First do a battery reset, if that does not work listen to a CD for a week, just in case its either a transmitter fault in your area or a gremlin in your FF that may well fix itself after a week of CD listening sir

Heated rear window on or off makes no difference, thinking it's probably one of amplifiers but which one

Found this page which helps a bit, however no description for item 10, says 2 is FM amplifier so thinking to start there. anyone know what item 10 is

Strange, page 780 no help at all

there you go,

That's the one I need, different page from mine, think we were looking in different places, now which one to change first

0/k changed both FM aerial amps and no different, losing the will to live now

do you defo have power going to these amps? ... - .- -.




Y. O. L. O.

Yep, power to amps, not too sure what to try next

i suppose the earth points and the antenna cable .. ... - .- -.

Been there done that, not sure where the antenna cable goes after the amps, think the tuner is in rear quarter so next step might be there, just seems like the FM aerial is unplugged from somewhere as FM is only picking up strong signals and AM and TV are fine
