Well, it all started when i purchased the Midland CB radio that Jason was talking about. I bought a cheapo 10 dollar antenna to go with it and rigged it all up in my car. I wired the cb into my existing fog light wires. The hot runs directly to the battery pretty much(Its on that master fuse thing in the engine bay), and the ground is on a piece of metal/unibody inside the engine bay. Before i wired it this way, i had it wired through the cigarette lighter. I got engine noise/alternator whine/fuel pump whine/power window whine and anything else you can think of through my cb.
With my new wiring method that i first stated, i STILL got all the whining from the electronics. Thinking the CB was defective, i returned it and bought a Cobra DX 13, or something like that. I know its a cobra. Anyway, i wired it through the fog light wiring again, and bought a decent antenna from radio shack (Its huge). I still get all the whining. Any suggestions on how to fix this? :???:
BTW, it might be worth noting that with the original Midland radio, i put the hot wire right on the battery and grounded it good just to make sure it wasnt my connections. Still got all the noise. I dont know how i could wire it any better than on hte battery.
Any help, please?
