JTill Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hello all. Had this problem for some time now and its getting increasingly frustrating When ever I plug anything into my cigarette lighter socket it throws the radio signal way out! It makes it almost impossible to listen to the radio, its as if it isn't tuned in properly but when I try to change the tuning it won't pick anything up at all. also if I am listening to anything through my aux jack there is interference which seems to change along with the engine revs. Wondered if anyone else had had this problem or might be able to advise how to fix it? my guess is some form of ground loop but not sure where to start looking. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Try adding ferrite cores around the wires. They should supress some interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysquirrel Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 My Focus and my work Transit both do the same when I plug anything into the lighter socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
