Antenna: Description and Operation

ANTENNA

Antenna - Fusion, Milan (Late Build)
The antenna is located at the top-rear of the roof panel. The antenna can be either an AM/FM antenna, or an AM/FM/satellite antenna if the vehicle is equipped with satellite radio.

Antenna - MKZ and Early Build Fusion, Milan
The AM/FM antenna is located in the rear glass. It cannot be replaced separate from the rear glass.

Satellite Antenna
The satellite antenna is located at the top-rear of the roof panel. The satellite antenna is a stand-alone antenna on the MKZ, and is a combination AM/FM/Satellite antenna on the Fusion/Milan.

Antenna Cable

NOTE: The antenna and lead-in cables are not removable from the wiring harnesses. If either antenna cable needs to be replaced, cut the ends and leave the cable in the wiring harness. Route the new cable on top of the wiring harness and secure it with wire ties. Do not cut into the wiring harness to remove the existing antenna cable.

The antenna lead-in cable is connected to the audio unit and has an in-line connector (located at the right end of the instrument panel below the glove compartment) to the antenna cable. The antenna cable runs along the passenger side rocker panel within the body main wiring harness, and runs up the passenger side C-pillar to the antenna module (MKZ and early build Fusion, Milan) or to the antenna (late build Fusion, Milan).

Satellite Antenna Cable
The satellite antenna cable is part of the harness. If it is necessary to install a new satellite antenna cable, the new cable should be overlaid on the harness and secured as necessary.
