Test 1

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota and 2003 Dodge Dakota. 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 the base. Proceed as follows:

  1. Disconnect the antenna coaxial cable connector from the radio receiver chassis and isolate. Remove the antenna mast from the antenna base.
  2. Insert one ohmmeter test lead into the socket for the antenna mast in the center of the antenna base. Connect the other test lead to the perimeter of the antenna base. Check for continuity.
  3. There should be no continuity. If continuity is found, replace the faulty or damaged antenna base and cable assembly.
