I don't know, did you try switching it back and forth 100 times?
I doubt that switch has gotten much use considering that nobody has listened to am radio since about 1982.

My factory radio in my Jimmy does the opposite. It’ll pick up AM but no FM. Plus the tuner response is not proportional to how you turn the knob, and after a certain point, the needle doesn’t work at all. Definitely not the switch, but I wondered if there was a transceiver issue. I wish I knew more about these Delco radios...

I suppose it gets the job done if you want more options for sports, talk/news radio, or low fidelity Hispanic music.
I kinda like the idea of a baseball game playing in the background on a nice summer day.
Ill probably skip the Lush Rimbaugh and the mono ranchera music, though.

Check your antenna connection also. The older radios will probably play fm but not pick up am at all if the antenna is not connected or the little wire in the windshield is broken although it shouldn't very well. I don't like the windshield antenna at all as it seems like the function is diminished.

Windshield antennea is lacking in picking up stations for sure!
