    Citreon C3 car radio poor reception

    I have a problem with the radio in my car ,its been going on for some time now.
    Just poor radio reception,it has got a small aerial at the back of the car .
    I can see a nut head holding the aerial by looking through a hole where the rear light dome is ,but it looks as if I will have to remove the roof lineing to get at it.
    What I dont know if there is an amplifier any where ?
    I think its a Bosch radio but it does not have a name on it.
    Does any body have any info on this?
    Thanks

    Barry

      Managed to get the aerial off the car .
      There is an amplifier in the base of it ,and its wet .
      So I will dry it out and try it.

          If you would like to post a few pictures, that might help someone in the future, after drying it, check that there are no corroded traces or components.

              Make sure the antenna preamp is still getting power from the radio.
              Sometimes aftermarket installers disconnect the (antenna) power feed wire from the stereo.

                  Sony CFS-5000S radio cassette player no FM reception
                  by mikey5791
                  Hi forum members,

                  In the past i have had many helpful hints from generous forum members in diagnosing and solving issue related to most of my electrical things.

                  Fyi, i have been keeping this unit of Sony radio cassette player as the cassette belting has worn off but the radio has been working fine before. Recently, out of a sudden i found out i can't get any radio reception at all (no signal from FM,MW or SW band) except some buzzing warp noise from the speakers.

                  I opened the casing inside and checked for any dry solder, burned component or loose wires...

                  clock radio / radio lifespan?
                  by shelby5041
                  hi
                  ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old

                  my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?

                  since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.

                  the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours

                  it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something...
