Audio Systems: car radio, corrosion damage, car stero


Question
I had a leak around my windshield and water dripped on my car stero (1996 AstroVan).  I temporarily lost AM reception, but that has come back.  FM reception is pretty much lost though.  Any idea what the cause is and of course, is it fixable?

Answer
Don,
Most likely the circuit board has some corrosion on it from the water leak. Your best course of action is to take the stereo out of the dash and take off the covers and give it good going over to look for and clean up/repair any corrosion damage.
