2002 Ford Crown Victoria Antenna Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair an Antenna Cable Without Removing It on 2002 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: The antenna cable servicing process starts with disconnecting the battery ground cable. The service and repair of the antenna cable requires the removal of several trim panels starting with the package tray and roof sides followed by right-hand front and rear scuff plates then lower quarter and B-pillar trim panels and RH instrument panel lower insulator. Remove pin-type retainers and release locking tabs while disconnecting the courtesy lamp. Start the antenna cable service work by removing the A-pillar lower trim panel followed by disconnecting the radio antenna lead-in cable. The installation requires antenna lead-in cable replacement through adding a new cable on top of the existing one while securing it with wire ties and applying insulation to the old cable ends to eliminate noise. The new antenna lead-in cable must be attached at the antenna isolator module then routed through the wiring harness conduit near the rocker panel before connecting it. The repair process ends with reinstallation of the A-pillar lower trim panel together with instrument panel lower insulator, B-pillar trim, lower quarter trim panel, scuff plates, roof side rear trim panels and package tray trim panel. As the last step reconnect the battery ground cable. The vehicle requires extended driving to learn its adaptive strategy after a battery disconnect due to which it may show abnormal drive symptoms before recovery.
