Intermitent Radio

torch94 · 12-23-2008, 10:21 AM

Anyone ever have an intermitent radio problem. I have a 2003 Cabriolet with the factory "Bose" system. Sometimes especially after we have closed the trunk the radio will not locate any stations either on AM or FM bands. CD works fine. If I turn the radio off wait ten seconds and then back on most of the time it starts working. If that fails I open and close the truck again, and that seems to work.

...it's not in the radio, but in the antenna line. There's a "booster" in the line, and could be a loose connection, or a faulty ground.
