    Default AM Radio Lost Volume

    Hey Folks -

    I just noticed that I lost all sound on my AM Radio over the weekend.

    FM and all other functions are working as expected - it's just AM radio has gone completely.

    Anyone else come across this issue and have a fix ?

    Thanks

    Not even static? There's a known issue with grounding on AM, and sometimes opening an electric window or turning on the defrost can help, but this would be a poor, staticy signal. If zero reception, that is new to me.

    I think these are like the XC90 I just bought (also with no working AM)
    These radios are not radios per se, it's just a faceplate.
    The radio is a module behind the faceplate
    I was told mine is shot and needs a new radio module ($500 wholesale plus software)
    There will be a stored code that needs to be read by a Volvo dealer only or (someone with VIDA-DICE).

    You can try to get one used from a place such as erie volvo, no software needed on a used one

    I had the same problem with my 2008 XC70. I took it to an electronics/radio repair shop and they replaced a module from a Chrysler in the radio.
    It has worked ever since. Can't remember the cost but it was significantly lower than replacing the entire radio.
