• Q: How to service and repair the antenna cable on right-hand drive on 2000 Mercury Cougar?

  A: Begin right-hand drive antenna cable service and repair by taking out both the overhead console and message center. Begin by removing the antenna cable retaining screw then removing the antenna base along with its gasket from the roof surface. Use a tool to remove the right-hand side sun visor together with its clip by releasing the locking mechanism. The technician should remove the right-hand A-pillar trim panel and the scuff panel trim before gently lowering the right-hand side of the headliner. First remove the right-hand cowl side trim panel by disconnecting the antenna cable both from retaining clips and A-pillar clip. Begin by unconnecting the liftgate release switch electrical connector then take out the cowl side trim panel before completing the process with disconnecting the antenna cable electrical connector and freeing its wiring harness from its retaining clip. Start by removing the instrument panel lower panel before detaching the wiring harness clip from the relay mounting bracket and separating the relays together with their electrical connectors from this mounting bracket. The right-hand side vent pipe along with the relay mounting bracket should be removed by extracting its two bolts before setting the bracket aside. Ending the procedure requires disconnecting the antenna wire from its retaining bracket then positioning the sound damping panel before removing the antenna cable. The installation process follows the reverse steps of removal.
