NorseKode Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 1991 Loyale 5spd 4WD wagon. When I am listening to the fm tuner and switch on my rear defogger, static obscures the radio signal. Isn't that thing just a nichrome type heating element? What would cause the radio to gain noise like this? Kalo:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorseKode Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 A bad ground that is common to both circuits, that's what. Sometimes I'm a little slow. Kalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik R Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I have only had trouble with this when my alternator was going south; bad diode...........now my FM tuner sounds clean......it's the AM tuner that is hard to clean up.............Medium Frequencies are tough when it comes to ambient noise; especially overhead power lines................I digress.............Next time I jump in the car, I will see if my rear window heater has the same effect........very interesting.
