Test 1
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. 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 behind the right side kick panel.
- Touch one ohmmeter test lead to the tip of the antenna mast. Touch the other test lead to known ground. 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.
