2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission FM out on stock radio

[JPA2002]

Has anyone ever had the FM portion of your radio stop working? The antenna is still hooked up, and I can get AM radio stations, but the FM stations do not work at all.



Thanks

Jon

This may not be a fix for you but this is what happened to my radio. I had my FM stations go out not long after I got my truck. I took the radio out and found that if I moved the antenna wire back and forth in the socket of the radio that the FM stations would come in again. The socket seemed to be a little loose, or some wires inside the radio where shorting out. In the end I went and picked up a decent Pioneer head unit and mounting bracket to install in my truck. All stations come in clear with no more tuner problems.

Good luck I hope you get your problem sorted out.

Alpine CD Replacement?

I replaced my stock cassette player with an Alpine unit# 9825 CD. Excellent reception and performance especially off road with no skips yet. Circuit City had a closeout and w/free install= $181. 00. o. t. d. harness,install kit and all! I do miss the large buttons though. There's a 1. 5. din(our size) Alpine in the classifieds for sale. It might offer more humane sized controls.

Holly smokes, this is what exactly what happen to me yesterday, no FM, all I get is AM stations. Time for a new radio I guess.

I'll try wiggling the antena connection before I give up the ghost on it thought.

My brother had a Grand Cherokee and the FM bit the dust in it too. If you want another stock stereo, ebay is the cheapest by far.

I've had a total of 3 do this same exact thing. First stocker and 2 replacement Philips units. All are due to broken internals on the radio. Solution: Whistle... :-laf

I think I'll just get a cheapo indash Radio/CD unit. They are as cheap as 79. 99.
