Vanislru Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Might be a ground issue, noise is when on AM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The noise may be being picked up by the antenna instead of the power lead. If the antenna ground is not good it will pick up excessive noise. If the noise sounds like a snapping noise then the ignition wires are probably causing this. Replacing the plug wires and coil lead may help fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgambino Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 I know someone knows the answer to my question....which color wire is the 12v power feed to the radio (at the back side of radio) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBrumby Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 i dont know what colour it is but just get a light bulb or led solder to wires to the terminals and poke one into each of the connectors with the other wire touching some metal on your car. when it lights up you got your 12 volts supply. Have the keys in it to:). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 My manual for an '88 model shows power going to a green wire and to a blue/yellow wire. Not sure if yours will be the same but it may. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausubaru92 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Try the Filter capacitor on the alternator itself, also make sure your grounding is very good, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
