Re: Testing a stock radio?

Quick Radio Test:
* you must have a 10 ohm speaker, don't turn on the radio unless this type speaker is connected.
1 First pop the hood of your C10 and rest the radio on top of the battery, with switch turned OFF.
2 Next connect the 3 wires coming from the radio's power plug.
Clip power wire to positive terminal of battery,
connecg the other two (green and black) to a 10 ohm speaker paying attention to positive and negative poles.
3 Then plug in antenna with mast attached to the back of the radio.
4 Then set radio on the radiator support next to battery, this will ground the metal case of the radio.
5. Turn on the radio (it should light up inside) and tune to local AM station.
