Firstly becuase nearly all of these sorts of issues are caused by things such as this, and secondly...and more importantly, there was actually a Technical Service Bulletin covering this that ford brought out.

One simple thing can cause untold headaches. Sometimes I wish I was one of those guys who just CBF if anything doesnt work on a car and as long as it gets them from A to B they are happy. They would put up with crap reception and it wouldn't bother them.

Jake F6 Donating Members 327 Member For: 21y 9m 2d Location: Melbourne Posted 26/05/12 03:07 AM Author Share Posted 26/05/12 03:07 AM Ok - didn't realise that they were different on the ute - in that case I'm not sure where the amplifier box would be, perhaps inside the roof trim?
