Default FM reception, FOB key...I give up

15-months ago problems started with my FM reception. Changed the diversity antenna, no luck and the problem is still there. Checked the hatch wiring with a friend of mine, couldn't find a problem. This winter, started experiencing problems with both FOB keys.

I love my car but these gremlins really piss me off . I have seen several posts all over the web on these issues with mixed results, can anyone guide me in the right direction???

How did you check the wiring?
Taking it out and actually unwrapping the loom is the only real way.
FM reception could be the loom on the other side to the loom for the power to the diversity antenna.

You saw one of my posts with all the radio antenna locations in the rear glass?

Almost guarantee you have more breakages in the wires than the ones you've found so far, that's my experience.

Did you check the filter module above the roof lining outboard of the RH rear speaker? My wiring through the roof shorted out and burnt it out. Easily fixed with solder but you will lose skin getting it out.
