truck radio static

chuck t · May 2, 2010

Ever since I got a tune up with plugs and wires on my 00 F-150 I get AM radio static. Little at idle but bad with high RPM. How do I fix this?

Make sure all wires are attached cleanly and tight.

Were the replacement plugs proper kind? (Resistor?)

Did you put Motorcraft plugs back in? Best plugs for stopping noise in radios and CB's.

Go to the Popular Mechanix Website and search for radio. Make sure the Coaxial antenna cable is grounded at the fender.

WHAT engine? I thought the typical 4.6 and 5.4 had gone to "coil-on-plug" by 2000???? (Or was it 2001?)

Your mechanic may have bent or kinked a wire and induced a gap inside.

Bob you are right on. 2000 what i have has coilpacks just like your picture. Think this calls for resistor plugs. Check antenna for continuity and leakage from center wire to ground. Or loose mount.
