Since you mention your public radio station, those are usually FM stations. Is the static you're hearing just on AM stations, or FM as well? Occassionally I'll get RF interference on AM stations from ignition spark, or as you mention, lights turning on. But I've never had it on FM, CD, or even tape decks.

Anyone else with this interesting problem. When I first bought it, the heater cable for hot and cold was disconnected. Took it back, it was corrected. But the lights flicker outside the car only and 4 years later my radio blows out the back speakers outputs. Still never felt safer in any kind of weather.

I have a 2003 Subaru Baja which upon hitting the slightest of bumps my gauges turn completely off. Then my security light comes on and I lose my turn signals. I thought that I only lost the blinker on the inside, but come to find out I lose even the outside turn signals. Then the engine light comes on but will go out usually once the car is turn off and restarted. This has been going on for almost a week now. I'm new to this site and wonder if anyone else has had this problem.

Replying to: dpitt72 (Oct 06, 2009 10:00 am) As I recall, my Baja has about 7 ground-points under the hood that I cleaned-up. This is essentually the process I use (1 ground at a time) 1) Remove holddown screw 2) Use dremel-tool, file, wire-brush (whatever) to clean up the eyelets. 3) Also clean up the point on the body so it is shiny-clean 4) Re-assemble. Another thing I did is remove-reseat (several times) every relay in the relay-box under the hood.... again, this action cleans up the connections. Another thing that is recommended is to clean-up the charging wire. 1)The battery MUST be disconnected to perfrom this. (remove negative wire) 2)locate large red wire that connects to alternator (this wire goes direct to battery +) 3)Remove the nut holding thie wire down 4)Clean up eyelet and connection-point 5)reassemble... make this pretty tight 6)Reconnect battery (connect negative wire) This may not help your problem... but it is VERY good preventive-maintenance. DISCLAIMER: If you are not comfortable with any of the above... do not attempt. (But I assume you would not be asking here if you were not expecting to DO something) |

I have a 2003 Baja. A few years ago I lost my front speakers. I only listen to AM radio, so it never bothered me that much to have it looked at. Then about a year ago, I lost the rear passenger, so I was down to the rear driver only. From time to time, all speakers would work for a day or 5 minutes or somewhere in between. And from time to time my only other rear would work. The other strange thing is I noticed that my driver side window will only roll down by itself (when I tap the window open button) when the front speakers are working. When only the rear speakers were working I would have to hold the window down button the duration of opening the window. Anyway, today while driving to work, I lost my driver rear speaker, so now I have nothing. Radio has power. I assume it's a wiring issue. Anyone have any suggestions where I should start? Thanks, Jim
