RADIO or ANTENNA???

[Cavcloser29]

I have a factory radio in my stang, almost none of the radio stations come in. I even drove by a raido station's antenna and tried to tune it in and it was still white noisy. What the heck is wrong?, and what can i do to fix it.

See if the antenna is still plugged in in the back of radio

you should still be able to pick up a small signal even if the antenna isn't plugged in...radio is probably bad. I'd get a new one

take out the radio and check to see if it is plugged in like stated.

you need a quality aftermarket stereo anyways...its just time to go get one and see. If it doesnt help, you could always take it back.

It's probably just the antenna. Driving by a radio station won't help you pick up the signal because generally radio stations send a signal to a transmitter site miles away that amplifies the signal over a broader range. Check to make sure that your antenna is connected first. If it is, then follow the wire to the actual antenna. If it's not cut or disconnected anywhere, try a new antenna. They're easy to install and much cheaper than a new deck.
