99 Yaris No Fm Stations

[Povo]

Hi,

I bought a 99' Yaris but there is no FM station reception. AM stations work fine and so do CDs, but when scanning for FM channels, none are found.

I tried putting in a few frequencies that I know, but I can just barely hear them with lots of static noise.

I was wondering, does anyone know a specific fix? I took out the radio and everything seems fine with the wiring. I would be willing to do some soldering if anyone knows the exact problem.

Thanks!

Maybe it's not earthed properly to the car's body, could be loose, check the wire and make sure your aerial lead is in correctly and is not damaged or loose connection to the new head unit other than that i can't help sorry. :)

I found another radio from a Yaris in a scrap yard for €20 (just the bare box with cassette and preset number buttons). Installed it and it works fine again.

I've heard it's a common fault with the 99' radios.
