I've had really poor AM reception with my Taurus since I got it 6 months ago.
I've partially removed the power antenna (dropped it down in the fender well) and cleaned the area around the hole in the fender. Also repeatedly tightened the nut. Still really bad, lots of static when anything electrical operates (wipers, fan, engine).
I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and what they did, before I drop the antenna down again and look for other reasons. Is is possible that there's a bad connection where the antenna cable goes into the power mast assembly? I tried to disconnect it there and wasn't able to, but it didd swivel around and didn't seem particularly snug.
FM reception is perfect but Cardinal baseball is on AM...please help!
