    It started going a while back. It would work sometimes and then suddenly go quiet. I was thinking it might be the antenna or antenna wire. I started chasing that today, starting from the back of the radio, but it seems to get lost behind the panel really quick, and I'm not sure where it ends. Also, I got thinking that the radio should at least pick up something, even if the antenna wire was not connected, but it doesn't. If I do "seek" or "scan" it just continually cycles all the way around.

    Any ideas?

    I believe the Aliens are screwing with our units. I've had issues in the past and just recently
    the radio began losing the frequencies AM/FM but now it's playing again.

    Common problem. It will start losing AM/FM again and then it will stop receiving them for good.

    Probably dried out electrolytic caps. Fixable, but questionable whether it is worth fixing. Yeah, original radio and all that, but how many of us are leaving our cars completely original?

    I bought the Escape deck to replace my original deck (as I had the same problem as everyone else).
    Kept it in for a few years; and have since gone back to the original deck.

    I bought an adapter for the cassette slot, that has the cord and an 1/8" plug at the other end, so I could just plug in my iPhone and have all my music at hand. (Radio has too many dammed commercials anyhow! lol).

    This was best for me, as (at the time) I didn't have the cash, nor the desire/time to upgrade to an expensive unit; and as a result, I have access to a heck-of-allot more music that just the CDs that the other can hold.

    That said..the Escape deck IS worthwhile as a "quick" and SUPER-EASY replacement.
