Audio Systems: 2002 Nissan FM Tuner, nissan pathfinder, antenna connection

Question
I have a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder and the FM tuner has stopped working.  It will come in sometimes but usually for only a few minutes.  If I turn the volume all the way up you can faintly hear the station going in and out with lots of static. The AM works fine. The CD player quit working a few years ago but I didn't have it checked out since I use my ipod with an FM transmitter, which also doesn't work now that the FM is not working.  Any idea of what could be causing this?  Didn't think it would be the antena since the AM works.
Thanks!

Answer
Yes, I think it is the antenna connection; probably at the input to the radio unit. Like, maybe the antenna plug has fallen out of the back side of the radio.  But, you may need a tech to check/fix it because it may require the radio unit to be pulled out of the dashboard in order to reinsert the antenna.  Could also be a bad connection of the antenna cable at the place where the antenna and cable connect.  Corrosion will often cause this end of the problem.

Good Luck,
