radio stopped working

06reata · Aug 6, 2017

Update on the fm am issue. Purchased a new cable but did not fix the issue. Problem was with the terminal block that is soldier to the circuit board where the antenna plugs into the back of radio. Nothing visible was wrong but move it and fm would go on and off. I reheated the soldier joints (5 of them) and wallah everything works.

I'm having the exact same issue. replaced the antenna wire yesterday and same issue. So can you tell me a little more about what you had to do? sound like i need to remove the head unit, yay.. then what?

Another victim of the dreaded cold solder joints. Glad you found it and fixed it.

06rata, you should do a write up on this. It could really be helpful. Seems like a few people are having that issue.

I'm confused as to how soldering that terminal block fixed the issue? I would think that the radio would not pull in stations if there was an issue with that connection. I mean...I'm willing to try it. Mine just stopped working today, as well. Sirius, UCI, and BT all work fine. Just no AM/FM.

My 2012 ram bighorn radio has static and only sat works. Sometimes it works fine for only 10-20 seconds then nothing. Satellite doesnt always work but most of the time it does. How do I check the antennae? It has been hitting a tree branch in my drive and it could be the problem.
