Engine RPM sound from Radio
Ever since I bought this car it has has a hand full of electrical problems due to corrosion (previous owner left hood open during a rainy afternoon) and rodents.
I have soldered in wire splices to fix the rodent damage here and there. The thing is that the AM radio picks up a wide range of frequencies that match the engine rpm and the speed. yes, I can tell how fast I'm going by listening to one AM whine and the rpms by listening to another lower pitch whine. I been researching the problem and my research all points to either a bad ground on the alternator/engine/firewall area or the rectifies of the alternator going. I can also rule out my stereo system because I cab pickup the same frequencies with a handheld receiver. so: Could it be a sign of a imminent alternator death? Could it be that I have a chewed off ground thanks to rodents? I know weird things happen with a bad ground. |
Ground.
BTW, is there still AM stations broadcasting? |

Is any of the original suppression gear still in the wiring system ? Sounds more like that
