AM radio interference when brakes applied?
I know... I know... "what's AM"...

Had the oddest intermittent thing happen on the highway the other day, in stop and go traffic; we'd get serious signal interference when using the brakes!

Anyone out there ever had this happen, and what might the cure be?

Thanx in advance!

Had that problem with an older vehicle I had with an antenna that has been stuck and would not rise. Don't have a solution but it may be just a faulty antenna or electrical interferance.

Could be a bad antenna amp, bad connection or a bad ground on the SBC system. The latter could create a big problem. Have you had the bulletin done on it??
