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?

Radioactive

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.


Happy Racing!
