Thanks for the kind words John. I’m glad you got it figured out and that it was such a simple problem. Beats having to pay for a repair.

Wow! Boy do I feel, well…..I looked back through your pics and saw the back of the unit and realized I had plugged in….wait for it…3, not 4. I opened her back up and sure enough, that 4th plugin had hung off to the side out of view! Bam! fully operational. Would never had the confidence to do this with out your page. I know I am gushing with praise but it is so nice to have the resource to research this and not pay the dealership way too much money.

Thanks Rick. Yes, I actually triple checked to make sure all the plugins were plugged in properly. I had been especially careful not to pull the wires from the plug head when working with them. I really appreciate your page and how it saved me $$$ and walked me through the pull out. Just wasn’t brave enough to break it down all the way. I drive Dodge chargers at work and sometimes their antennas do the same thing. Might have to just save up all that money you saved me by posting Larry Z’s link and have a different shop to look at it.

John, I don’t know a lot about car stereos. My first thought is maybe your antenna connector came unplugged from the stereo. That would explain getting static, since the reception would be terrible. Perhaps it didn’t get plugged back in? I know you said you double checked the connections but are you sure the antenna was one of the ones you checked? Honestly, I’m not sure if leaving the ground connected would cause this issue but I’m guessing that would not be related.

The part Larry Z posted does work. I pulled the head unit myself following your instructions and took to a radio repair professional. He fixed it and we tested by plugging in and it worked great! However the am/fm is now static. I have double checked the connections. Did not unhooking the ground when we reinstalled it cause the obvious antenna issue? If so is there a fix? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jessica. I’m sorry to hear it didn’t work out for you. Maybe your problem has a different cause? If it were the audio jack I would expect the sound quality to change when you wiggle the jack around while playing music. If the audio always sounds the same then you might have a different problem.

So I bought the part and installed it and still the audio is messed up. Second time the aux input has messed up since I bought this car in 2008, the first time it was under warranty. The second time was just a few years ago.
