#5 of 33 Radio Reception by jsylvester Mar 19, 2006 (3:46 pm)
I always had a lot of problems with "picket fencing" when trying to pick up AM radio in downtown areas. Also, after dusk, many AM stations reduce their power.   I guess if you don't listen to AM radio, probably not a big deal.
#6 of 33 2003 Grand Marquis Radio Reception by sal06 Nov 17, 2006 (1:59 pm)
I reached 37,000 miles and now have problems with radio reception, and the vehicle is out of warranty. I have never used the CD or cassette player. The radio doesn't hold onto a station for more than 10- 20 minutes on FM-1, FM-2, or AM settings. I tried the scanning control, but it just keeps scanning thru all the channel numbers, never locks on to any station. Don't want to take it to a dealer at $70 hr to find problem. Is it the radio, electrical, or rear window antenna? If the radio, is it easy to replace? Any estimates on cost? What will fit?

Replying to: sal06 (Nov 17, 2006 1:59 pm) Because the audio receiver constantly receives a very small amount of electricity to keep the settings fixed, it may be of help to disconnent the Negative connection to your car battery for a minute or two. After reconnecting the battery terminal, the receiver tuner section may "reset" to be ready to be programed again by you manually. Sometimes this proceedure works and if it doesn't, no harm is done. Good Luck.
#8 of 33 Power antenna by fscarano Nov 21, 2006 (7:45 am)
Would a power antenna or signal booster improve reception? Replies to this message: euphonium (Nov 21, 2006 1:14 pm) fscarano (Nov 22, 2006 7:41 am) euphonium (Nov 22, 2006 2:03 pm)

Replying to: fscarano (Nov 21, 2006 7:45 am) A signal booster only amplifies what the transmitter sends and that includes interference. It does not increase the power of the transmitter.   An antenna whether "power" or manual is just the receiving agent for the transmitter's signal.   If interested in receiving FM stations, the antenna should be extended only the length of the FM wavelength or about 30.5 inches. If interested in AM, squirt some liquid Viagra on it. Replies to this message: fscarano (Nov 22, 2006 7:41 am) euphonium (Nov 22, 2006 2:03 pm)

Replying to: euphonium (Nov 21, 2006 1:14 pm) So basically nothing can be done to improve the reception? I'm operating on the original antenna in the rear window. Replies to this message: euphonium (Nov 22, 2006 2:03 pm)

Replying to: fscarano (Nov 22, 2006 7:41 am) There is an antenna port on your receiver. Replace what is plugged into that port with the male end of a new conventional antenna. If that improves reception, then install the conventional antenna.
#12 of 33 cd player installation by whiteford Dec 02, 2006 (8:26 am)
i have a 1994 grand marquis LS with the original factory am fm tape player in the dash. how difficult is it to install an after market cd player into this model. specifically, do i have to rip apart the dash and woodgrain to get inside to dismantle? if not, what is the best way to get inside and easily replace the stereo?
#13 of 33 CD Player vs. Climate Control by bentrazor Feb 01, 2007 (10:21 am)
Hey guys, I'm new here, and I'm new to Mercs.   I have a 2000 Grand Marquis, and I got an aftermarket CD player from Crutchfield. It came with a dash kit and wiring harness, which I connected.   The cd player works and everything, but now the Climate Control doesn't turn on. I'm pretty sure I just missed a wire (there were a few that didn't have mates when I was connecting the wiring harness). I hope I didn't damage my system somehow!   Any help concerning the wiring would be appreciated!
