Factory radio doesn't let me listen to 106.3 fm - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got my factory radio working last night and the radio will not scroll passed 100 fm. One of the presets it set to a channel higher then that but I cant even press it in hard enough to move it passed 100. It moves just a little bit wit a lot of force. Why? Do I need to take it apart or something? On the bright side 96.9 94.1 and 93.3 are still available to me. But I realy like 106.3.

Yes you can take off top cover and lubricate it and it should be fine. I lubricate the buttons,on top of the buttons and the arm that moves it back and forth. You can pretty much lubricate any moving part you see except I would not lubricate the little round disc on the right of radio though, that is for the presets.

Ok next time I have the dash all blown apart I'll do that. Also figured out if I hit the brake when the pickup is off the radio will come on. No it's not hooked to the brake swich I checked.lol

Sounds to me like the radio doesn't want you to listen to that channel.

Rock and roll is the devils music.

It's just trying to save your sole
