Power Antenna Drive Cable

Antenna Sections:

Drive Cable Hook And Gear Hook:

NOTE: This procedure applies to broken drive cable replacement only.

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Rear compartment trim.
2. Turn radio and ignition ON and allow the antenna motor to cycle until it stops runing.
3. Vehicle wiring connector from antenna relay.
4. Turn ignition and radio OFF.
5. Unscrew final. Pull up to access mast 100 rod to prevent turning if antenna is flush with insulator.
6. Upper insulator from escutcheon housing.
7. All mast sections and any attached drive cable
8. Three screws and lower cover from antenna.
9. Antenna drive cable remaining in gear housing. Lift and turn hook to disengage from spool.

INSTALL OR CONNECT
1. Antenna relay to allow motor to rotate gear counter-clockwise one revolution so that gear hole is aligned at 4-5 o'clock position as shown.

NOTE: This step must be followed or antenna will shut off using anti-continuous run cam instead of limit switch. This may result in shortened antenna life. If the gear rotates too far, repeat removal Steps 2 & 4.

2. Feed new Drive cable up through actuator hole.
^ Threading either the cable guide supplied with service kit or the mast 100 rod to the antenna cable will assist in passing cable end past the lower seal. If the 100 rod is used, the antenna must be lowered from the bezel to allow for clearance.

3. Apply 1 drop of thread sealant to mast rod and thread to cable.
4. Engage cable hook in gear hole by turning hook clockwise and laying along drive spool. Pull remainder of cable through tube.
5. Lower cover to antenna.
6. Lubricate contacts on 300 mast tube and slide 200 and 300 mast tube sections down over 100 mast rod using compression tool supplied with kit.
7. Upper insulator into escutcheon housing.
8. Clamp mast 100 rod section to prevent rotation and thread finial to rod.
9. Vehicle wiring connector to antenna relay.
10. Rear compartment trim.
