Test 1
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Test 1 determines if the antenna mast is insulated from ground. Proceed as follows:
- Disconnect and isolate the antenna coaxial cable connector under the right end of the instrument panel near the right cowl side inner panel.
- Touch one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of the antenna mast (below tip if ball tip is plastic). Touch the other test lead to the antenna cap nut. Check the ohmmeter reading for continuity.
- There should be no continuity. If OK, go to Test 2. If not OK, replace the faulty antenna body and cable.
