The AM and FM tuners in a car radio are totally different. The FM tuner is usually something kinda like a small metal can, and there is nothing to say it can't be damaged by a short or even an EMP during a thunderstorm. If the FM tuner is out tho its almost easier to just go grab a new 100$ one from walmart

sorry bro!

before you buy a new one, check and make sure that your antenna connections are connected at both the antenna outside and the back of the radio. mine did that too, and I thought it was scanning and stopping on channels, but no sound, but I figured it out it was stopping on the pre-programmed stations. My antenna coax had become loose behind the radio and after I tightened it up, it has worked like a charm.
