Dear All, I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The first chrysler/jeep radio which was an AM/FM cassette player worked well for awhile until the FM station cut out and intermittently cut back in. I subsequently replaced it with another radio obtained from a used vehicle junk yard that had AM/FM/Cassette and CD Player, the latter which was also tempermental as well. The replacement radio' FM worked well for awhile and then started cutting out. Once in a while it will come on and then cuts out and does not come back until days later. When I press the scan button realizing it has decided to act up again, the can function continues but never locks in on an FM station unless it feels like it on one of my "lucky days". This is annoying as I have recently purchased an ipod and hooked up the FM transmitter but most times cannot enjoy it because of the FM function irregularity.
Question: Should I replace the radio? It seems strange that I would have the same problem with the first and second radios. Could it be the antenna and if so, among you experts out there what should I do?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Best regards. Tom McKnight
