98' GP SE. When I listen to the AM radio, while driving, I get a lot of interference from overhead power lines and such. Plus minor ignition noises. With engine off AM radio is very clear. Problem has just occurred in the last few months. Changing spark plug lines made for minor improvement. Car has factory antenna. What should I be looking at to resolve this problem? JHG |
radio
antenna
connector somewhere in between
