Resistance test
1. After installing the antenna wire on the car and disconnecting the radio cable, check the antenna at the indicated points using an ohmmeter (see picture). If readings are out of range, replace antenna and cable assembly.
15.1, a. Resistance test between antenna mast and cable.
1. Must be below 5.0 ohms x1 mm.
2. Must be below 5.0 ohm x1 mm.
4. O-ring.
3. Should be at infinity (00) x1000 installation. Let's take a higher level.
15.1, b. Checking the resistance between the antenna cable and the base.
1. Must be below 5.0 ohms x1 mm.
2. Should be at infinity (00) x1000 installation, let's say a higher level.
3. O-ring.
4. Explorer.
Replacement
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Slide the side walls of the glove compartment door inward, lower the entire door down.
3. Disconnect the antenna wire from the back of the radio.
4. Pull the cable out of the clips and clips under the dashboard (see picture).
15.4. Antenna cable path.
1. Taurus.
2. To the antenna.
3. Block of wires.
4. Cable block.
5. Dashboard.
6. To the radio.
7. Sable.
5. Remove the right front fender liner by pulling out the center pieces of the plastic clips with pliers. Unscrew the screws, disconnect the insert, lower it down.
6. Disconnect the antenna cable. On antennas with an electric lift, disconnect the power supply.
7. Pass the antenna cable through the hole in the hinge pad, remove it through the wing wall.
8. On mechanical antennas, unscrew the antenna mast with a wrench, remove it from the vehicle.
9. Use a wrench or socket to unscrew the nut.
10. Install in reverse order.
