Test 2

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 2 checks the antenna for an open circuit as follows:

  1. Disconnect the antenna coaxial cable connector from the radio receiver chassis.
  2. Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the antenna mast in the center of the antenna base. Connect the other test lead to the center pin of the antenna coaxial cable connector.
  3. Continuity should exist (the ohmmeter should only register a fraction of an ohm). High or infinite resistance indicates damage to the base and cable assembly. Replace the faulty base and cable, if required.
