lousy AM reception S80 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Volvo specialist on  Fri Jul 5 02:38 CST 2002 [RELATED]

After some fixes, most owners are happy with their AM reception.
Improving/cleaning the amplifer ground, installing the "brass strip" in the antenna connector are basic repairs.
Also inspect threads in rear windows if they are are damaged/corroded. The can be cut off when installing rear tint film on window when adjusting the film to window profile.
M/Y 1999 also have two short antenna cables with a joint connector under rear seat. Never cars have only only long antenna cable which gives better signal quality.
