AM Buzz when braking or A/C on! Help.

My AM radio buzzes pretty bad when I brake or when the A/C fan switch is moved to any position except low. What can I do to eliminate the buzzing?

I don't guess there is much I can do about it.

Some simple things to check... First make sure your battery clamps and terminals are fully clean and tight. I can usually tell that I have left them too long when I hear any noise from the brake lights or fan, or when other things are switched on. Second, check the grounding on your radio, and the antenna cable from your radio to the antenna. It has a ground shield that runs to the antenna and should be in good shape. I'll bet your battery connections will have a definite effect, without opening up the dash though. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I will check the battery cables first. Then look for the dash grounding.
