Checking antenna amplifier and connectors
NOTE:
Listen to a weak AM station during the check.
Checking the antenna amplifier and connectors
Check the connections and ground terminals for the main antenna / antenna amplifier as follows:
- Twist the antenna cable (1) at the connector for the antenna amplifier. If a crackling or banging noise can be heard in the loudspeakers, replace the antenna cable between the head unit / audio module and the antenna amplifier
- If there is no noise, continue checking the connector for power supply to the antenna amplifier (2)
- Check the ground screw (3) to ensure that the antenna amplifier is in contact with the car body and is grounded properly.
Checking the connector
For cars with chassis number 1- 064000 the antenna cable from the audio module is connected to the antenna amplifier via a connector in the bottom of the left-hand D-post.
- Twist the antenna cable (1) by the connector. If a crackling or banging noise can be heard in the loudspeakers, replace the antenna cable between the head unit / audio module and connector.
