It could be a bad ground or bad antana.
The circuits have nothing in common. The dome light works whether or not the key is on, the radio only works with the key on.
the ground wire has a bad or wrong connection and does not get enough when you use more electricity
Off of the radio. (At least that is how it works for us.) You could also get them from family members who get them for free.
FM radio works like light. If a shadow is made (something in the way) , you get less light. Radio waves work in a straight line. If something is in the way, less radio waves. The rule is broken here if you use Am radio waves. Low clouds can make the waves bounce between the clouds and the ground and can travel as far as 1000 miles or further. So the answer is yes.
I had a similar problem with my 1996 JGC. Turned out to be the alternator. The radio went out and the AC, along with the dashboard guages. Get it fixed soon or it could do more damage to your electrical system.

Could be the speakers are blown.
Somebody please answer this i am also having a problem. if i wire the aftermarket radio it does not even power on. but if i put the stock radio back in it works. could this be a problem with the ground? Help!
The antenna wouldn't cause it to short out, that just helps it receive the signals to play music on the radio... How old is the radio... if it is factory from 91 then it might of been its time to go... i have a radio from a 90 Dodge Caravan, same as whats in your Dodge Spirit cause they carry the same radio and it short out on its own where the numbers and stuff wont light up but will still play music... I took the radio out of my 92 Dodge Spirit and put it in the van (since the trans went out in the 92 Spirit) and it works great... it might of just went out because it was ready to go.
because you hooked into the lights ground I bet usually you blow the fuse everytime you turn on the lights check your radio ground
The antenna must be simply disconnected.. if there is no signal for the station, the radio auto mutes to keep you from hearing static.. so yes.. remove the radio and yourll know what the antenna wire is and what i goes into.
Jackson Radio Works was created in 2000.
Your radio signal works by using its signal to go to a tower and back to your radio (Via antenna).

Nothing. In honda's,even up through the later models, the tail lights and dash lighs are on the same fuse. Did you put in a radio? Did you use the dash light feed as a radio ground? Take out the radio, replace the fuse, and try again, if it works, find a new radio ground (I like the heavy black wire on the lighter). Relentless It could be there is a wire the is grounding out somewhere along and both the dash and the taillights are on the same circuit.

make sure the ground wire is still hook up to the hood
