    Reply to Trixie's PM

    Poor Radio Reception in Town Cars

    I've seen some of the posts in this forum bemoaning the reception quality in their 2002/2003 Town Cars. Ford has a fix. It's a revised Hidden Antenna Module with a built-in signal booster and different wiring hookups to the backglass. See your dealer and ask about TSB 03-23-07, published on...
