Alright, so within the last 2 or 3 weeks my daily driver, a 96 four door accord, decided to start acting up. I don't know if this is coincidence or actually has some importance, but right about the same time I lost my passenger inner-fender liner on the highway. I guess it came loose and got caught in the tire and it got torn off at like 75 MPH. But now when I try to turn on the radio, it's almost like there's no antenna anymore. It'll work sometimes though. AM works all the time, however if the sound is low, you hear this really high pitch that's annoying. And When the radio is at FM, if i flick my lights on, it changes. Sometimes if I turn my headlights on, it'll make the radio actually work. Turning the lights off again would then make the radio not work. Sometimes it'll change too if I put my window down. It's almost like any sort of action that deals with the battery power changes if the radio will play or not. The only thing that's constant is this winding sound in the beginning. Sometimes it'll work too but the winding is still there if you keep the volume low. You actually have to blast the radio so that you don't hear the winding.

Any ideas would be really helpful. Thanks in advance guys.

If you have any further questions on my part too don't hesitate to ask.

Eric

 

anyone??

 

Have you had a look up into the fender to see if any wiring was damaged when inner fender liner fell out? 94
