Default Poor FM connection
So Ive got the typical light show in the front and that started to really mess up my fm radio connection when the lights were turned on so I (succescfully) rerouted the antenna to the back so there'd hopefully be no interference but unluckily, the connection still isn't 100%. Could this be because my battery is too weak to handle all this?

Could be a bad or loose ground somewhere with one of your lights.

I grounded the new antenna to the 3rd brake light mount, is that a bad place? Pic below

Does it cause interference when you step on the brake or just turn on your lights?
