Hey, this is my first post here ever, so I guess thats a positive for a 2004 accord owner! Its a 4cyl coupe, with the stock in dash CD changer, which amazingly functions fine.

So the problem is, we had the alternator fail, and before it failed it overcharged the system for about an hour (ABS shutdown, battery was steaming etc), then it let out white smoke and that was that. Had it replaced twice, the first reman part died in 3 weeks, but it was covered. Now, the radio gets no stations at all (at least in front of my house but it used to get dozens). The CD's play fine, and the free XM station (I didn't know this was a thing, I guess the have to advertise it somehow) plays fine.

So this leaves me thinking the the antenna got fried somehow? I want to see if I can find the tuner / box that it goes to (I think its in the rear of the car?) and plug in an external antenna wire to trouble shoot, but could anyone direct me to where / how to find this? I thought I found it last night in the passenger side trunk wall, but it didn't match what I was expecting in terms of wires.

Its the wifes car, it runs great, but no radio will drive her nuts (help me!)
