I know this is a litte out there, but y'all seem pretty knowledgeable so I figure it's worth a shot. I installed a pioneer DEH-P4600 MP3 CD player in my car last year, and it worked perfectly for about 8 months. A while ago, though, I started having problems with the AM radio reception. There is intermittent total interference, i.e. all you here is horrible static. Specifically though, the static is coming from the car's system, as sometimes there is clicking in-time with the blinker, or patterns based on the speed of the engine.
It only happens at certain times though, especially when braking or accelerating hard, or hard turns. It sounds to me like it might be a loose wire that's getting out of contact when the car's pushing hard one way or another. But where should I look? I have no FM problems, so I don't know if I should look at the antenna, or what. Any ideas? Thanks!!
