Default FM failure

I stopped at a parts store two nights ago on my way home from work, FM was working just fine. When I came out, nothing but static on both FM1 and FM2 but CD and AM are ok. Any ideas? Did the FM side of the radio just 'blow up'?

BTW, I've had my battery disconnected a time or two and never had a problem with the tuner recognizing the 6 disk CD changer (factory installation.)

Have never had to apply this logic to the PT, but in most cases there are two separate antennas for your FM and AM stations. The visible antenna on the outside of your car receives FM frequencies. I would check to ensure that your antenna is properly connected to your deck, and then also check to make sure that the connections to the antenna are still in place.

Are you using an aftermarket headunit?

Not an antenna problem; this morning it works as though there was never a problem. Fingers crossed that it holds, we are trying to sell it and do not need something to go wrong at this point!

But thanks anyway for the suggestion. And it is the stock 6 disk head unit.
