Radio only picks up 1 or 2 radio stations

Hello,

It sounds like the radio antenna module is going out or is not connected or connector wire is bad. Here are diagrams to help you check things out to see if there are connected/condition I also included the radio wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Hi and thanks for using 2carpros. Com

The first thing I would suggest is to check the antenna's connection in the rear of the radio. If it is loose, it won't work. On this vehicle there is an antenna cable as well as an extension cable. I am going to attach the directions for replacing both. Confirm that where the join, nothing is loose. All attached pictures correlate with these directions,
