Check a few things before you buy a new one. Could save you a few bucks. I have this same problem on my Corrado. Use an multimeter to ensure that you are getting 12V from the power wire that feeds the amplifier. If not then check your wiring from the headunit to the Fuba. Next, check that the base of the Fuba amplifier is properly grounded to the roof. The screw at the base has serrations that will contact the inside of the roof effectively grounding the antenna amplifier. You may have to roughen the surface with sandpaper for the screw to get a nice contact. Lastly, make sure the outside case of your stereo reciever is grounded to the same ground.
If the above fails, then the amplifier inside the base is bad and you should replace with a new one. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Hauptmann, Eric Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 10:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [a2-16v-list] No AM stations I have a 1991 GLI and I cannot pick up any AM stations. I checked the antenna connection in the back of the stereo and even switched the stereo with another one but still the same problem. I have the stock Fuba antenna and was wondering if you think replacing the antenna will help? Any ideas welcome.
