Endeavour radio error messages

My 2003 Ford Endeavour (gasoline engine) has 237544 km and radio issues. I get error messages, and the audio system often fails. Error codes related to the radio are stored. I suspect a defective antenna, bad antenna ground, or a shot antenna booster. Anyone dealt with similar vehicle electronics headaches?

I have an Endeavour and had somewhat similar radio issues. Are you experiencing generally poor signal strength, or does the radio just cut out completely, even with stations that should be strong?

Good question! It's a bit of both, actually. Sometimes the signal is weak and fades in and out, other times it just goes silent completely. It is really frustrating me. Any thoughts based on that?

Sounds very familiar. Given that it’s intermittent, I would suggest getting the antenna itself checked, along with the connections. Given the age of the vehicle, corrosion could be a factor. I couldn’t figure it out myself, so I took mine to a workshop. They sorted it pretty quickly.

Thanks for the advice! I was hoping I could fix it myself, but it sounds like a trip to the workshop is inevitable. Appreciate you sharing your experience. They quoted me around 255€, so I will get it sorted.
