Default near non existent radio reception help!
hello all.
hopefully someone can help me. A few months back I purchased a used
P71 Crown Vic. I can at best pick up one or two close FM radio stations, no AM at all. A month or two back I remember seeing someone else with the same issue on a retd. police interceptor but forgot what the replies were. Somebody help me please!

thanx

Is the antenna fully seated into the radio?

hi mark.

yes antenna is fully seated into radio. there is a harness hanging under the package shelf with a gray oval connector. maybe?
the metal tab for the rr window defroster is missing however, is this tied into antenna somehow?

thanx
