Default Loss of am/fm signal

I had this problem once before where I my radio lost reception like the atanae had been disconnected. The first time the signal cam back in a few days.

Any hints

The radio antenna amplyfier is on the left side of the rear seat back under the C pillar. If someone pushed the seat hard it cracks the board in the unit. I've seen it happen.

Yes, it is an 02. BTW just had to clean a ton of water out of the front seat floor mats. Hope the AC Drain fix corrects the problem (had to blow out the drains on the sides of the tunnel.
