I have no Sirius radio reception (it is an external window unit) at all. I thought maybe it was a Sirius antenna issue, or maybe something with the Direct FM converter box that acts inline between the antenna coaxial cable and the Alpine radio. I pulled the Alpine radio out of the dash, plugged the FM antenna coaxial directly in (bypassing the Sirius system entirely) and still nothing. No white noise, no nothing. The CD, cassette, and AM radio all work great.
Any ideas?

 

how can I access where the coaxial line meets the antenna?

 

from the RAVE, which you have already dowloaded by now, the aerial amplifier, photo attached. Not 100% sure if there is only one, on a D1 the antennae are also in the rear glass, but on each side, one for AM/FM, one for FM only, two coax at radio. My PO chose FM only, so no AM for me until more work. You can see the antenna wires molded in the glass.

 

downloaded the RAVE---but never saw a single photo in it. Maybe I'm reading or accessing the RAVE all wrong. Thanks much.
Wonder if that is only one cable that goes from the radio all the way back to the antenna input, or is there a splitter or extension connection en route?

 

For the RAVE, look in the electrical drawings manual to find what you are looking for. Doesn't matter, switch, blower, sensor, etc. Look at tiny numbers on each wire going into device. The first part of the number is the connector number. Go to the electrical library, and the connector list, and there it is, a color photo of the location, and the wire colors and pin out of the device connector. So if you are looking for the crank position sesnor, it'll have a pix of it. The workshop manual usually has a nuts and bolts how to remove it drawing. The D1 only has black and white photos.

While I do take pix of my Disco for some threads, I have not found a way to keep mine that clean, outside of parking over the vapor degreaser pit (EPA / OSHA nightmare) lol.

 

well, I took the trim panels off----antenna coaxials were plugged in snug---that is not the problem. Guess I'm now going to try to follow the coax up the dash....wish I knew if it split off somewhere before I take the whole damn truck apart over this

 

I took off the panel and found loose connection..... walla.... I'm back in AM and FM business baby! Thanks one and all
