Radio reception sucks with defrost on???
Just a quickie. I think it may be a ground... But, When I am listening to my radio, and then turn on my rear defrost the reception gets very fuzzy. Any ideas?
Also, My radio does not work like I think is should to begin with. It seems to have a weak signal.

That happened to my brother's when he added tint to his windows, apparently the better tints have some kind of metal in them that screws up your reception.

Since the rear defroster grid is your antennia or at least the top half it's gonna mess up ypur reception some.
If your reception isn't that good to begin with I would inspect the ant. booster. It is located under the left c pillar trim.

well it goes like this
A pillar is the post that runs up along the winsdhield. B pillar runs up behind the drivers dood C pillar is the next one back. Runs up along the rear window. D pillar, Oh wait you don't have a station wagon. The booster is a box mounted behind the left C pillar trim. It is about 3inches long, 2 inches wide and about 1 inch thick. A few wires and cables ,fairly easy to spot
