ANTENNA BODY & CABLE
DESCRIPTION
All models use a fixed-length stainless steel rod-
type antenna mast, installed at the right front fender
of the vehicle. The antenna mast is connected to the
center wire of the coaxial antenna cable, and is not
grounded to any part of the vehicle.
OPERATION
To minimize static, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxial antenna cable shield (the
outer wire mesh of the cable) is grounded to the
antenna base and the radio chassis.
The antenna coaxial cable has an additional dis-
connect, located near the right end of the instrument
panel. This additional disconnect allows the instru-
ment panel assembly to be removed and installed
without removing the radio.
The factory-installed Electronically Tuned Radios
(ETRs) automatically compensate for radio antenna
trim. Therefore, no antenna trimmer adjustment is
required or possible when replacing the receiver or
the antenna.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL

INJURY.
The ohmmeter test lead connections for each test
are shown in (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 Antenna Test Points
RSAUDIO8A-3
AUDIO (Continued)

TEST 1
Test 1 determines of the antenna mast is insulated
from the base. Proceed as follows:
(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable from the
radio chassis and isolate. Remove the antenna mast.
(2) Connect an ohmmeter test lead to the inside
center of the antenna base. Connect the other test
lead to a metallic portion on the outside 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.
TEST 2
Test 2 checks the antenna for an open circuit as
follows:
(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable connector
from the radio chassis. Remove the antenna mast.
The painted mast prevents measurement directly
through the mast.
(2) Connect an ohmmeter test lead to the inside
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.
TEST 3
Test 3 checks the condition of the ground between
the antenna base and the vehicle body as follows:
(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the fender
on an exposed metal area (paint and e-coat must be
penetrated to obtain continuity). Connect the other
test lead to the outer crimp on the antenna coaxial
cable connector.
(2) The resistance should be less than (1) ohm.
(3) If the resistance is more than (1) ohm, clean
and/or tighten the antenna base to the fender mount-
ing hardware.

(10) Install kick panel.
(11) Connect antenna cable connector to extension
cable.
(12) Install glove box to instrument panel.
ANTENNA EXTENSION CABLE
(1) Install extension cable to vehicle.
(2) Connect extension cable to back of radio.
(3) Install radio. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/AU-
DIO/RADIO - INSTALLATION).
(4) Connect cable hanger clip to HVAC unit.

OK, repair the open circuit to the battery as
required.
(3) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
Check for battery voltage at the fuse in the junction
block. If OK, go to Step 4. If not OK, repair the open
circuit to the ignition switch as required.

QUARTER GLASS INTEGRAL
ANTENNA
DESCRIPTION
The quarter glass integral antenna element is
bonded to the right rear quarter glass and is replaced
with the glass assembly only (Fig. 1).
OPERATION
The integral antenna receives RF (Radio Frequen-
cies) and sends them to the antenna module for
amplification.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - QUARTER GLASS
INTEGRAL ANTENNA
The antenna grid pattern is divided into two sepa-
rate patterns. Each terminal connects to a separate
grid pattern, one for AM and the other for FM.
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information. The wiring informa-
tion includes wiring diagrams, proper wire and con-
nector repair procedures, details of wire harness
routing and retention, connector pin-out information
and location views for the various wire harness con-
nectors, splices and grounds. To detect breaks in the
integral antenna elements, the following procedure is
required:
(1) Disconnect the antenna module connector from
the antenna terminals on the glass.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, place a lead on one of the
terminals and check each end of the grid pattern con-
nected to this terminal for continuity. If continuity is
not present, move one lead through the grid in pro-
gression starting at the terminal with the other lead
on the terminal until continuity is lost. Repeat pro-
cedure for the other terminal. A break in the antenna
grid can be repaired using a Mopar Rear Window
Defogger Repair Kit (Part Number 4267922) or
equivalent. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED
GLASS/WINDSHIELD GRID - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).
