Antenna Cable, Driver Side

To remove the Digital Radio Antenna Cable from service, first loosen the cloth cover in the trunk compartment to get to the antenna cable connectors, and then cut the ends off the antenna cable at the Digital Receiver. Remove the right front IP closeout panel, the right front carpet retainer, and carefully loosen the right side door manual release lever and place it to its side. Next, take the right side lock pillar trim off and find the harness coming through the plastic seal in the pillar to door pass-through; pull the seal back, remove the digital antenna connector, cut the body side connector off. Do this by performing a de-carpet on the left front retainer and the parking brake assembly, then remove the left part asymmetrically by identifying the harness, retracting the seal, disengage the digital antenna scalar & hack the body side scalator off. For installation route a piece of mechanism wire behind the IP/center console, then attach the left side of the new antenna cable to it and pull it to the left side of the IP faisafly with the route of the old antenna cable. Push the new connector back through the plastic seal on the left side pillar to door pass-through, reconnect same, reinstall the plastic seal securely while using tie straps as necessary to secure the new antenna cable under the left side of dash. Perform the same procedure for the right part, ensuring that the new connector will penetrate the plastic seal and be attached with reconnected and secured. The new antenna cable can be routed along the left side of the body, following the old cable routing behind the carpet back to the digital receiver and secure it with tie straps if needed and reconnect the antenna cable to the digital receiver. Lastly, install the parking brake assembly, left front carpet retainer, right side lock pillar trim, right front carpet retainer, right side door manual release lever, and right side IP closeout panel.

Begin by accessing the antenna cable connectors through the trunk area cloth cover after which you should cut both ends from the antenna cable adjacent to the digital receiver. Begin by detaching the right front IP closeout panel together with the right front carpet retainer followed by the loosening and setting aside of the right side door manual release lever. First you need to take off the right side lock pillar trim to find the harness that passes through the pillar and door opening's plastic seal and then pull the seal back. First pull back the seal and disconnect the digital antenna connector while cutting off the body side connector. After processing the left front carpet retainer and parking brake assembly follow up by seeking the harness on the left side of the IP then detach the digital antenna connector before cutting the body side connector away. Installation involves guiding a mechanic's wire through the IP/center console space to bring the left antenna cable end to the left side of the IP by following the original cable route. The installation requires pushing the new connector through the plastic seal by the left side pillar to door pass-through before reconnecting then resecuring the plastic seal with necessary tie straps when securing the new antenna cable beneath the left dashboard side. Reconnect the left and right IP pillar to door pass-through connector while making sure to properly secure the seal at each location. The new antenna cable must follow the original cable path behind carpeting to reach the digital receiver by using required tie straps for stability and then reconnect the cable to the digital receiver. Complete the installation by putting back the right side door manual release lever along with the right side IP closeout panel, right front carpet retainer and finally the right side lock pillar trim and the left front carpet retainer and the parking brake assembly.

Ensure the new connector is pushed through the plastic seal, reconnected, and secured.

Release the I/P wiring harness from the body retaining clips and remove the push-in retainers from the floor panel support.

Separate the antenna coaxial cable from the radio control coaxial cable and the I/P wiring harness, then remove the I/P right lower insulator panel.
