Default Radio acting strange

I haven't driven my car in about 2 weeks. I went out tonight to drive it around a bit and noticed that I was not getting any FM stations. I switched to AM and it works just fine. I also noticed that now it always shows AM even though I am going through FM presets. It also doesn't scan FM. Just stops at every frequency.

I have the factory 10 speaker system with optional factory EQ.

I should probably just get a new radio but I kind of liked the idea of having the origional set up since I haven't seen many with the optional EQ.

Thoughts?

I'd check fuses, sounds like you aren't getting juice to the antenna.

I check the antenna fuse. I think the radio is sustaining it's memory. The clock keeps time and presets seem to be there (although I haven't figured out how to set the radio clock yet).

Just no FM. Everything else seems to work.

All the fuses under the hood checked out. I'll pull the radio this weekend to check for some sort of inline fuse. Although the showing AM even though I'm going through the FM frequencies thing has me thinking the radio is fried.
