Quiz - 29 Jun 2005 19:36 GMT
Whilst I had an Electrician looking at my 2.4 JTD Sportswagon
yesterday,I asked him to look at my radio arial... the FM works but
the Medium wave does not.

After a bit of hunting we found the arial in the Tailgate with a
Booster attached to it.

The arial and booster checked out OK. But when I pull the arial from
the back of the radio there is no change in the sound, the arial might
as well not be in.....the FM signal works without it but the MW will
not work with the arial in or out.

My question is.. can any one tell me where to look for a break in the
arial lead?

I could rip all the panels out trying to follow the cable route to the
tailgate before finding the fault. But I would prefer to hear from
some one who maybe has had a similar fault? where are the likely pinch
points? Or is there a connection on route that may have come apart?

any help appreciated.
Quiz.

No experience personally with an Alfa, but check out the wiring loom
crossing from the rear tailgate to body shell.

Also try bypassing the booster, see if that makes a difference.

You can pick up FM without the aerial plugged in?
FM is harder to pick up than MW!
