Radio problem

[greenquark]

Yes I still have the original radio . the problem is that when it is on, at random times, it gets a lot of noise/interference to the point it is just weird noise. I have noticed that if I turn the lights on, the noise goes away, leaving the radio working but with a high pitch noise you could hear when the there is a pause in the broadcasting.

I am going to replace the radio for stereo thing, but I was wondering if this is going to screw up the new stereo system?

Sounds like the stock radio is giving up the ghost.(old caps drying out/leaking etc) you should be fine installing an aftermarket stereo and not have the same problems.
Id suggest also replacing the tired paper cone stock speakers too or at least giving them a once over checking for impedance and making sure the connectors are attached securely. Youll find that with a new after market stereo it wont be long before they disintegrate.

I ahree sounds like a dyong radio. Nothing lasts forever right? I replaced mine with a cheap aftermarket one until I can get a bluetooth radio.

All the old Honda radios suffer from bad solder joints at the connector. I have fixed up a few by resoldering. Also check to make sure the ground is good and not feeding from somewhere else like the antenna or parking lights.

As mentioned above, there is a also good chance some capacitors have gone bad.
