Antenna Cable

You need to start by removing the right upper quarter trim panel followed by disconnecting the body harness antenna extension cable from the Antenna Cable. Next remove the rear seat cushion and right instrument panel (I/P) insulator along with the right front and right rear carpet retainers and lower trim panel from the right center pillar. You must reach the wiring harness by pulling back the right carpet side to disconnect the i/p antenna extension from the body harness Antenna Cable at the front door hinge pillar. Cutter equipment should be used to trim the ends of the Antenna Cable that must be exchanged while paying attention to the path of the original cable. The new Antenna Cable should be installed according to the previous removal procedure while electrician tape should be used to secure extension cables outside the wiring harness at intervals of 150 mm (6 in). The right carpet and lower trim panel at the right center pillar should be returned before installation of the right front carpet retainer and right i/p insulator with rear seat cushion and right rear carpet retainer. When placing these items reconnect the i/p antenna extension cable to the body harness Antenna Cable at the front door hinge pillar. Reposition the right upper quarter trim panel once you have connected the antenna extension cable to the body harness Antenna Cable.

The Antenna Cable replacement process starts by taking out the right upper quarter trim panel followed by disconnecting the body harness antenna extension cable from the Antenna Cable. Then continue with the sequence of removing the rear seat cushion along with the right instrument panel (I/P) insulator and three carpet retainers for right front, right rear and the lower trim panel from the right center pillar. To reach the wiring harness pull up the right carpet side before disconnecting the i/p antenna extension cable from the body harness Antenna Cable at the front door hinge pillar. Use scissors to cut off visible Antenna Cable parts and place the cuts at points where you observed how the Antenna Cable routed itself. Install the Antenna Cable to the harness at intervals of 150 mm (6 in) and secure the extension cables with electrical tape placed along the wiring harness exterior. Connect the i/p antenna extension cable to the body harness Antenna Cable located at the front door hinge pillar before reinstalling right carpet along with lower trim panel to right center pillar followed by right rear carpet retainer then right front carpet retainer then right i/p insulator and finally rear seat cushion. Move the antenna extension cable to body harness Antenna Cable then replace the right upper quarter trim panel.

Secure the new antenna extension cable to the harness at least every 150 mm (6 in) using electrical tape.
