Radio interferance when fan is running
I've just become used to crappy radio reception since I replaced my antenna this summer, but I noticed something yesterday since It's cooling off and I was driving with no A/C on. When the fan is off, the radio interferance goes away! Where am I going to want to start looking to figure this one out?

Make sure the antenna cable shield is grounded at both ends.
Then install a capacitor, at least 1,000 microfarads @ at least 20 volts.
They are available at electronics parts stores.
Wire the capacitor across the + and ground of the fan motor at the connector.
+ to power, ▬ to ground.
See if that reduces or eliminates the RFI.
