Antenna, Radio: Description and Operation
ANTENNAAntenna System Component Location:
The antenna/rear window defrost module is located on the passenger side of the rear package tray, underneath the package tray trim panel. It is connected in-line to the power leads, from the body main wiring harness that supplies power to the rear window defroster grid.
The radio antenna uses a 2 piece coaxial cable to connect the radio chassis to the rear window defrost/antenna grid. The front antenna lead-in cable is connected to the radio chassis and has an in-line connector at the RH cowl side. The rear antenna cable connects at the RH cowl side and runs along the rocker panel within the body main wiring harness. It separates from the harness at the quarter panel and runs up the right C-pillar to the headliner where the end of it is bolted to the roof above the rear glass and it connects to the antenna grid.
The antenna can be repaired, but not replaced separately from the glass.
If the antenna cannot be repaired, install a new back window glass.
