Default Grand ZJ 97y. Antenna Problem

Hello

This is my first post here so be easy on me. My Englisht is not so good but I will try to write down my problem.


ZJ has a electric antenna. now it is broken. I put newone. I got it from Ebay.
LINK: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

Problem is that do I need to make "-"(mass)???
Today it is like this. If the engine is not running then the radio plays very well. But if the Engine is running then it is not.

Mby somebody have/had same problem?

Greetings from Estonia

Default Fix

Wow, I'm surprised that no one has replied to this yet.

It is a easy fix.

You have a "Ground Loop" What you need to do is,

Unscrew you Antenna, and put some kind of rubber or tape or plastic.

To go between your metal Antenna and metal hood.

If you have any metal to metal contact you are going to have that problem.

Hope this helps, sorry it took so long for the reply.
