AM Radio Static
I bet this is an easy one for you experts out there.
The stock radio system on my '95 Ford Explorer works great except for loud static on the AM bands. I have noticed a few characteristics of this problem:
Engine on = lots of static, engine off = little to no static.
Engine acceleration increases static and humming.
Plugging in devices into the cigarette lighter causes major static.
I was told that the engine computer is the root cause, and that the wires are too close to the engine. My mechanic won't waste his time on it.
Is there a way for a non-auto expert (myself) to troubleshoot and correct this problem? How about manuals with diagrams and photos?
