Noise on radio when turning on the heating

Post by robbs »

guys,

I've got a problem.
I'm PIMPIN my 340 1.4 Winner. I'm almost done, i've got a Kenwood radio-cd-player, fake alarm-light, light-on-warning, amplifier, VDO Dayton compo-set (2x tweeters & 2x midtones) in front and 2 maget + subwoofer in back.

Amplifier: in back, directly linked to the battery
Radio: power by startkey (sorry..english word :S)
all cables are solid, protected and go by seperate ways to the amplifier.

Everything sounds beautiful, no problem. :?


BUT...
when I turn on the heating (1, 2 or 3) I get a very irritating NOISE in the "background". And the noise gets louder when the heater is in a higher stand. When I turn the heater off, the noise goes away.

It's a constant BRRRRRR with noise... (has nothing to do with dynamo).


Does ANYONE know what's the problem??? :roll:

I get this very slightly with the washer pump. Have you checked the condition of the wiring for the fan?

It pretty much has to be either a suppression fault, or a bad ground somewhere.

cheers

if you're running on the stock speaker cables then replace them for shielded jobs and it might do the trick.
