- Record the number of valid radio stations where the tuner stops.
- Repeat these steps with the ignition ON, and the engine OFF then again with the engine running.
- Return the ignition switch to the position that the concern was most noticeable.
- Remove fuses or circuit breakers one at a time until the noise has been eliminated.
- Identify what systems or components are powered by the fuse.
- Reinstall all fuses and circuit breakers.
- Disconnect the components powered by the fuse one at a time until the concern has been eliminated.
