Coaxial Cable Repair Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Buick Cascada, 2018 Buick Cascada, and 2017 Buick Cascada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Identify the faulty/damaged coaxial cable.
  2. Disconnect the faulty/damaged coaxial cable and leave it in the vehicle.
  3. Identify the type of coaxial cable to be replaced and match up with the appropriate pieces to repair the damaged coaxial cable. Match up the type of coaxial cable, cable length and connector types. In some cases there may be extra length of cable left over.
  4. GM2695722

    Install the new coaxial cable in the vehicle.

    NOTE:
    • Avoid routing the new coaxial cable near sharp edges that can damage the new coaxial cable.
    • In some instances, it may be necessary to pass the new coaxial cable through the dash panel harness grommet:
      • If the dash panel grommet has a service port nipple, cut or pierce a small hole in the nipple. With the assistance of a fishing tool, insert the coaxial cable through the hole created in the nipple and pull the coaxial cable through the grommet and into the vehicle interior. Seal the nipple with an appropriate sealant to prevent moisture and noise intrusion into the vehicle interior.
      • If the dash panel grommet does not have a service port nipple, cut or pierce a small hole in the grommet with a suitable tool such as a small drill bit. With the assistance of a fishing tool, insert the coaxial cable through the hole created in the grommet and pull the coaxial cable through the grommet and into the vehicle interior. Seal the hole with an appropriate sealant to prevent moisture and noise intrusion into the vehicle interior.

    Use tie-straps to attach the new service coaxial cable to existing harnesses or brackets. Use felt tape/foam to reduce rattles, as necessary.

    5. NOTE:

    To avoid permanent damage, do not pinch the cable or bend it tighter than a 2 inch (5 centimeter) radius.

  5. Remove the faulty/damaged connectors, if applicable.
  6. Install new connectors or jumpers, as needed. Refer to Connector Housing Repair Procedure.
  7. Verify the repair by operating the system with the engine running.
