Rustangs don't have an power antenna. Check the mast make sure it's screwed into the base all the way. Also check the underside of base of the antenna itself. It may be corroded. If that's the case, it should be replaced.

It's a ford thing. The stock radio isn't as sensitive to a corroded connection as an aftermarket deck is. If I had a nickel for everytime I was told "but it was fine with my stock radio" I'd be a millionaire.

Antenna amplifier? Go to Radio Shack. Less than $10.
