Hi All,
I have looked and found similar posts, but not quite like this one:
My 1999 Civic DX factory-installed AM/FM radio has a problem with the
AM. I can hear the engine buzz and whine through the AM. I have never
fiddled with replacing it and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or
know about similar issues.
Thanks in advance. |

In a word, grounding. The first place to look is the antenna mount, where it
attaches to the body. (I don't know where your '99 antenna is located, but
if it is a fender mount you will find this part at least easy enough.) If
you can unmount it, clean up the contact surface as much as possible. Often
there is paint inside and out - great for rust resistance but awful for AM
reception - that will have to be cleaned away with sandpaper or Scotchbrite.
Applying silicone grease to the bare metal will prevent rust while allowing
the antenna to make contact.
Back when I was in avionics we ended up spending most of two hours
installing ADF antennas. ADFs are basically AM radios with fancy antennas
and some circuitry to indicate which way the station is. If we just slapped
the antenna on the skin, like we tried at first, the interference was
terrible. We sanded down to metal and got decent reception. Then we found
that treating the aluminum skin with Alumiprep (an acid) and Alodyne (some
other sort of chemical made for the purpose) that the performance was much
better. Fortunately, steel isn't that touchy.

it could be the spark plug wires also. good well insulated ones do cost alot
but could cut down on the humming u hear. also maybe just buy a better radio
if u can afford it.

If cleaning the mounting and antenna doesn't work, I'll look into
replacing the spark plug wires.
Yes, I thought about replacing it, but then thought it might be
tempting for a thief (even with a removable faceplate).
Thanks. >> Stay informed about: AM Radio buzz |
