The PO said that the attena wire had been broken so thats why the radio would not work, i dug into that situation this evening....
behind the kick panel i found this gizmo :???: I don't believe its factory but i hooked a known good attena wire up to it to test it out.
Even with a good wire, the radio still woulnt pick up and signal, so the next step was to swap it out. I snagged the OEM radio from the parts truck, plugged it all in and wa la I had music. I guess the factory 89 radio itself had crapped the bed. :dunno:
all fixed 8)
That was it for the night. Should be getting my bedside patched in the next week or so I hope and ill go from there :thumbsup:
