Radio I have a 2002 honda civic lx. The radio works fine, but when i turn on the rear window defrost all the stations turn to static. Can anyone tell me why and/or how to fix the problem. Thanks

I don't think your radio has anything to do with them not working, check you fuses.

crossed wires where the conection to the heater for the window is sounds like he conected the wires wrong undo them and switch them around or follow the wires to see witch wire comes from the radio to the control panel where the buttons to tur the radio and set the defrost is ad see if the wires are crossed or in the wrong places if that dont work then it might need grounded hope that works for you

If you're getting power to the CD player then there's power
to the radio. The antenna involves the grid on the rear window,
an antenna coil and cable to the radio. You can check the
grid for a break and if it's small you're auto parts store will
have a repair kit. My 05 Accord rear window defogger did
not work and it took Honda 2 attempts to repair it. Other
than checking the grid I would bring it to the dealer.

check the connections going in to the window leads and also with a test light ,check if their is power at the terminals that plug into the window leads. does your car still have factory warranty that the dealer can look into this.

you can only get the code at the dealer or replace the radio with an after maket

check for antenna ground if corroded relocalize the ground.

YES, THE RADIO ANTENNA IS PART OF THE DEFROST HEATER GRID.

The radio antenna is shared by the rear defroster, there is a part called the "Antenna Amplifier-Rear Window Defogger Coil", it is behind the left side rear pillar trim. It prevents the static from happening.

if the tape player works fine and no static u most likely have a problem with your ground,check to see if your radio is getting good ground and also check the antenna unscrew the two bolts on top of the car and carefully pull the antenna upwards and check the wire connected to a piece of metal where the screw goes (if good) add another ground to your radio.

Check your fuse it might be burned out, If you change it get the same AMP, If it burns again, upgrade the AMP.
