Hey Mafia,

I noticed today the radio only plays stereo sound for about seven seconds and then cuts out to non-stereo mode. The reception is sub par even on stations that are less than ten miles away.

For what it's worth, the battery was just replaced. Cold start has 12V and while running it hovers around 14.1V. No loose connections on the terminals and they are bright and shiny. Is there a loose connection or is my voltage too low?

2004 ZHP sedan with a 6spd and 101,800 on the clock.

Thanks!
Pete

Have you checked the antennae connection under pass/driver C pillars?

No, but now that I know where they are, I will. Do I have to unbutton some stuff?

I use the radio all the time. Checking the pillars is on my to-do list

This sounds like a weekend project. I'll try to see what's up.

I'm glad others listen to the radio like me!
