Fig. 1: Power antenna assembly mounting and components
Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the antenna mounting nut and
supporter.
Remove the 2 antenna assembly-to-trunk bolts, the antenna and the band clip.
Disconnect the feeder socket and harness connector. Remove the drain tube
from the grommet.
To install, reverse the removal procedures. Be sure the drain tube protrudes
approximately 0.79 in. (20mm) through the grommet. Check the operation of
the antenna mast.
Loosen the antenna mounting nut enough so it can be easily removed. Turn
the radio and ignition switch ON and extend the antenna.
Remove the antenna mounting nut.
Grasp the lower section of the antenna mast and lift it vertically. Extract
the inner pipe and rope from the antenna housing.
To install:
Insert the center pipe (supplied with the new antenna mast) into the antenna
assembly tube until it bottoms.
Insert the antenna rod rope into the antenna housing through the centering
pipe with the rack facing outward; at the same time, turn the radio switch OFF.
Be sure the antenna mast is vertical to the antenna housing. This prevents
the rack from sustaining damage and making it easier to insert the rope. Remove
the centering pipe from the antenna housing and detach it from the rope.
Face the inner pipe spring toward the center of the vehicle and insert the
inner pipe into the antenna housing. Temporarily tighten the antenna mounting
nut.
Turn the radio switch ON and OFF to ensure
the antenna rod extends and retracts properly. Tighten the antenna mounting
nut.
