I've read many posts in here pertaining to AM radio problems on the
9-3. I have a 2002 9-3 (30K miles). The problem is a cutting in and out
of the AM radio. When it cuts out I can get the signal back by doing
one of the following:
+ Pound my fist on top of the dashboard
+ Press the face of the radio inward
+ Press the molded/padded dashboard perimiter just below the radio
Now, it may take several attempts to get the signal back. No issues
with FM at all. I had the radio replaced a few months ago, but due to
age the cars warranty expired.
Any thoughts? Not sure what the dealer can/wants to do, I'm there
enough as it is between maintenance anf other oddities.
Thanks,

First, your problems are well beyond the usual AM issues - although I
suppose it's possible the antenna connector is not pushed in. You can
pull the radio and check it. Make sure you have the code on hand if
you unplug it.

Most replacement parts carry a one year warranty - even if the factory
warranty is expired. Check it out.
