2002 Lincoln Continental Antenna Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair an Antenna Cable Without Removing It from the Wiring Harness on 2002 Lincoln Continental?

  A: The antenna cable service and repair process starts with taking out the package tray trim panel together with the B-pillar trim panel. Exercise caution with the antenna lead-in cable since it remains attached to the wiring harness for which you need to overlay a new cable using wire ties which should never penetrate the harness. Begin antenna cable servicing by disconnecting the battery ground cable then taking off the cowl trim panel and succumbing the carpet aside. Pull out the radio antenna lead-in cable and rubber grommet through the package tray sheet metal while disconnecting the cables at both the front and the rear. Start by removing the clip from the rear seat strainer before placing the rear seat sound insulator out of its installation path. Next follow this order to complete the radio antenna lead-in cable installation procedure: position the lead-in cable, take out its cable retainer and remove the cable from within the wiring conduit. To install the component follow the reverse steps of removal while keeping the replacement antenna lead-in cable inside the wiring harness unless required and finish with proper cable tie-downs. Decide between tying back or insulating the ends of the old cables to stop noise generation. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery to a vehicle will produce abnormal drive symptoms initially since the vehicle needs to adjust its adaptive strategy through extended driving of at least 16 km (10 mi).
