Strange one this.
My wife's Toyota Yaris '99 has just lost FM reception - you can make the songs out, but the interference is very bad. AM works fine. If you remove the aerial lead the FM goes quiet, same with AM.
Unscrewing the roof aerial, the FM gets worse, and AM deteriorates slightly (as you'd expect).
I either suspect a bad earth at the roof, or the aerial mast is knackered ?
Just hoping a capacitor isn't gone in the radio ?
Any ideas ?
It's just happened this afternoon, and has been 100% for last 11 years. Did the battery disconnect trick I have to do with my car (but that's canbus) - the old Yaris isn't (I don't think - seems more traditional wires)
Can't get in garage at mo for some WD40 - locked and secured with my car butted up to it (after last weeks break in).
