Section 15-02: Antenna | 1996 F-150, F-250, F-350, F-Super Duty and Bronco Workshop Manual |
NOTE: Many customers do not understand the limitations of FM reception. Refer the customer to the owner guide for information about the limitations of FM radio performance.
If AM reception is extremely poor and FM reception drifts or appears to have trouble holding stations, make sure the antenna and antenna connectors are properly mated. If the antenna connectors are properly mated but the reception is still poor, refer to Section 15-00 for diagnosis and testing procedures.
If only FM reception is poor, it is unlikely that the antenna is at fault. Remove the radio chassis (18806) for service.
