- Basically, my friend has the classic revving static sound in his AM reception...which makes AM radio useless. AFAIK this car is distributorless and the noise condenser can is usually attached very close to the dist. WONDERING: Where exactly is the radio noise condenser on this car? Thanks, dudes!
Just a wild ass'ed guess, but check the power lead going into the radio. The interference is usually from the alternator and/or the ECM...
There are capacitors all over that car. Its unlikely any of them have gone bad. Check the antenna coax completely, from end to end. Often, it partially comes out of the antenna, or radio, or somewhere in between and is no longer shielded.
Thx guys. Still, I have to ask one more time...anyone know where the 'radio noise condenser' is located?
I have not seen one of those in a very long time. At least 20 years. You can get one as an add on and put it anywhere on the B+ circuit. However, that is not the cause nor the fix for the problem.
thx guys. we'll see what we can find.
