Maybe your radio just died? Did you try a CD perhaps? BTW by cap do you mean capacitor or something covering a connection or what? A cap could be many things.

Why do you instantly blame it on the cap? Check your wiring and everything. If you modified anything recently, you may want to recheck everything.

Marc Gold Member Username: Van_man Boston South, MA Post Number: 2959 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Saturday, October 27, 2007 - 03:25 GMT re do the ground wires where ever it goes. in the trunk, under the hood, in the dash for hu. on the cap. One of the grounds has gone south.
Marc Gold Member Username: Van_man Boston South, MA Post Number: 2960 Registered: Mar-06	Posted on Saturday, October 27, 2007 - 03:27 GMT And just to add, running power next to rca's DOES NOT, I repeat, DOES NOT CAUSE NOISE. Poor installation practice is the root of noise.
