Weird!!! HRS & Radio PRoblem
« on: 21 September 2007, 09:25:52 »

Really weird this...
If I push the heated rear screen button, I lose all FM radio stations, I do notice a clicking sound coming from the dash and the digital display dims slightly. Turn it off and all the stations come back.

Any ideas???  :-/

The heated rear screen also contains the radio aerial, so a problem with it could well affect the radio. The lights going dim and the clicking sound make me think the heated screen is not pulling the correct current when selected, so either a wiring fault or a relay problem would be my gues .. but I'm sure an expert will pass thjis way soon and correct me !!

You need to check the earthing on the rear screen unit whih contains the aerial amp....sounds like its trying to earth via the aerial cable screen and subsequently affecting the display etc.
