Lower the right-hand side of the headliner after you take off both the right-hand A-pillar trim panel and scuff panel trim. Start by unclipping the antenna cable from the retaining clip followed by the retention clips on both the A-pillar and proceed to remove the right-hand cowl side trim panel. Start by disconnecting the electrical connector of the liftgate release switch then remove the cowl side trim panel before continuing with disconnecting the antenna cable electrical connector and detaching the antenna cable from the wiring harness by removing its retaining clip. Start by removing the instrument panel lower panel before detaching the wiring harness clip from the relay mounting bracket then disconnecting the relays and electrical connectors from the relay mounting bracket. Relay mounting bracket detachment begins when you eliminate the two bolts from the right-hand vent pipe while placing the bracket beside the mounting area. You must remove the antenna cable through the retaining clip after shifting the sound deadening panel for installation. When reinstalling items maintain the opposite sequence of disassembly.
