Delco Radio Problems

I'm currently trying to put the original Stero in my 1984 Trans Am, the radio turns on but there is only static on every station. Also I just I installed a new antenna so I don't think it's that

Re: Delco Radio Problems

Here's the radio
Here's the back of the radio
This is how I have a radio wired, notice the extra wire that I have no where to plug in. Could this be the problem?

Re: Delco Radio Problems

Looks like you've got an aftermarket antenna ?? Possibly an adapter ?? Double check the Antenna & Antenna connection is good,..... if it's OK then it's probably time to replace the radio.

The radio you've got pictured is a 84-87 (or so) Buick head-unit with 85+ Firebird ***** on it. The extra wire is not needed to install this radio..... It should work just fine without the extra wire connected to anything. IMO: The ( most likely ) reason that the radio isn't puling in any AM/FM stations is because something on the AM/FM circuit board(s) is fried. Could be (probably) the board that the Antenna plugs into,.. but could be the board the the station pre-sets are mounted on too.

I've got a few good Delco head-units,..... If you can't find a replacement locally feel free to send me a PM to check what's available. If you decide to find a specific type of radio - just be sure to include a picture of the radio you want. ** I do not have a factory stock 82-84 Firebird radio at this time.
