Hello Everyone. I have a problem with my Freestar that I cannot figure out. When I bought the Freestar, it had an AM/FM radio so I decided to buy an in dash 6 cd radio off of ebay. When I got it home and installed it, everything worked fine except the AM. My wife listens to a ton of AM so I ordered another radio, only this time it was a single CD MP3 radio and the same thing happened. No AM. I took it to the dealer and he checked the antennae and told me I have put the wrong radio in and that's why it won't work. We decided to just buy an aftermarket Sony single CD and have put that in. Guess what? Same issue. No AM reception at all hardly.

From what we remember, the original radio radio worked fine, but why would these additonal Ford radios and an aftermarket not work. The Ford radios had identical brackets and plugins. No modfications were made and I changed them out in about 3 minutes flat. We are just very frustrated. The ford dealer tells me it is the radio but I don't know if I buy it. He gave me a part number for the correct radio that should go in there and I have not been able to locate one. Even if I did, I'm not sure I would want to take the chance. Can someone please help me understand. Please.
