Ford Explorer: Poor AM Reception

The AM reception on my '98 with the premium radio is deteriorating. The
static when I'm near power lines now drowns out the local stations. It's
especially bad when it's raining.

Last year I was hit on the right and had to replace the right front fender.

Could the problem be ground related or corrosion around the antenna mount?

You might want to check the antenna grounding. Sometimes when the fender
is replaced the primer does not allow for a proper ground. At my RadioShack
dealership we ran into that problem a lot. Either just corrosion in an
older vehicle or one that has just came from the body shop.
