landar Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Welcome, Mike. What I would do is get another AM/FM antenna(does not need to be toyota), even a piece of wire, and temporary substitute that for your existing antenna. That will give you an idea of whether the factory antenna is on the fritz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the antenna extend when the radio AM/FM switched on? I notice the antenna is longer for AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ASSUMED THAT WAS A SPARE BUT I'M NOT SURE NOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to check the power amplifier. If the amplifier is good, then the receiver maybe faulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
