2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty Antenna Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Antenna Cable on 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty?

  A: The radio antenna lead-in cable repair process starts with antenna base removal along with moving the right-hand front fender splash shield from the bulkhead. Start by removing the splash shield in two steps using its two nuts and screws together with the pin-type retainers. The right-hand cowl side trim panel requires removal by detaching its pin-type retainers. The new radio antenna lead-in cable needs to enter the passenger compartment after removing the bulkhead grommet from the old cable then passing the new cable through its path. The radio chassis removal commences while maintaining the old radio antenna lead-in cable connection to both the instrument panel reinforcement and the defroster air duct. Disconnecting the cable connectors only without detaching the wire from the vehicle prevents unwanted rattles or identification problems. The new radio antenna lead-in cable needs attachment to the instrument panel reinforcement before returning to the original steps for installation completion.
