Default Lost radio reception after Sirius install

I recently put an inline antenna signal box from my Sirius to my stock 07 Shaker radio. The sirius signal is perfect on 90.1 but now I don't get any other stations, FM or AM. I removed the inline box and connected it up the way it was before and nothing. I even bought a new cable from the radio to the antenna junction that connects under the glove box and still no signal. Are there any fuses or amplified antenna fuses that I may have blown? Didn"t see anything in the owners manual. Love sirius but wish I could get regular stations now. Thanks for any advice.

that box should have a couple of wires going to it to power it, what are they hooked up to? What happens in that little box is that it switches off you outside antenna and then pipes is signal straight into the antenna going into the radio. IT sounds as though yours is never switching off to allow the outside antenna to work. Now when this happens, are you turning off your sirius unit or just changing the stations? If you have not turned it off to tune in another station you will need to.

Thanks for the response. The box has the correct wires going in to it. I removed the Sirius antenna box and tried to put the antenna back in to the stereo and it still isn't working. Wonder if I shorted out something maybe in the stereo. Just seems like the cars antenna isn't working any more.
