Answer
Hi Sandy,
I would check the antenna wire fitting at the radio and if accessible at the mounting point on the body. The fm reception is more highly dependent upon a properly wired antenna compared to the am signals. Perhaps the outer braided shell of the wire has come unsoldered from the connector fitting at either end, which would kill the fm signal while still alowing the am to function.
