Thanks again

How do you know the antenna is fine? Try unplugging it at the radio and sticking a very small screwdriver gently into the center of the socket. Attach a 3 foot piece of wire to the screwdriver and see if it works.

I had the same problem.I opened the hatch with the radio on and in the spare tire area I have too much antenna wire but i wiggled it around and found a place where the reception was good and duct taped it to the inside of the fender wall temp.The wire was also wound in a coil and I unhooked the coiled wire and moved the wire till I got reception.Also look for corrosion in and about the wire to antenna area. I live in a hilly area of Los Angeles so reception works or fades.Hope this helps.(After market radio with too much antenna wire for the car here.My02.
