3 Adapter lead for connection to antenna
Length: approx. 30 cm
- Disconnect electrical connectors of malfunctioning antenna wire from units.
- Determine routing of malfunctioning antenna wire in vehicle and measure out overall length of antenna connection to be replaced in vehicle.
- Total length of antenna connection = length of adapter leads -1- and -3- required as well as connecting wire -2-
- Subtract 60 cm from total length of antenna connection measured to obtain required length of connecting wire to be procured.
- Procure the necessary adapter leads and connecting wire of calculated length as genuine replacement parts in line with the Parts List.
- Cut connectors off malfunctioning antenna wire.
- Leave rest of malfunctioning antenna wire in vehicle
- Connect adapter leads to units in vehicle.
- Fit connectors with section of foam sheathing to prevent rattling noise.
- Lay and attach connecting wire in parallel with old antenna wire.
NOTE: Antenna wires are not to be kinked or excessively bent. Bending radius must not be less than 50 mm.
- Attach connecting wire to adapter leads.
- To prevent rattling noise, provide antenna connectors with a suitable section of foam sheathing.
- Check operation.
