Default Intermittent Radio

1993 GS300, 80K miles. Last year, AM reception completely stopped working on original radio. A few months later, no FM reception on passenger side. This lasted a while until no reception on either side. Yesterday, FM reception returned to driver's side. Would appreciate any suggestions as to cause/remedy. Thanks.

Hello,

Reception on each side? Do you mean no sound on one of the sides? The thing is that both FM and AM radio only have One receiver, if you have the sound only on one of the sides, it's not the reception that you have issues with, but more likely with the Amplifier, which in your car will likely be either under the Passenger seat, or under the Glove Box.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Yes, meant to say no sound. After some research. I also came to the conclusion that the amplifier was the culprit. Thanks for your response.
