2003 Ford Focus Antenna Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the antenna cable on 2003 Ford Focus?

  A: The antenna cable repair requires you to start by removing the antenna base followed by both A- pillar trim panels and sun visors with their retaining clips and the overhead console. The vehicle built before March 2000 requires passengers to remove assist handles through screw cover leverage then screw removal. To access the retaining clips of the antenna base on vehicles built from March 2000 you must use a suitable 6 mm flat-bladed screwdriver by rotating the screwdriver 90 degrees while removing the passenger assist handle covers. In order to access the antenna cable users should detach the front edge of the headliner before unclipping the antenna cable (a clear headliner install is featured for clarity). Begin by taking out the audio unit together with the glove compartment before you detach the passenger side register duct and antenna cable from the heater core and evaporator core housing clip. Detach the antenna cable from its retaining clips which are situated next to the heater core and evaporator core housing and afterward remove the passenger air bag module and detach the antenna cable from its clip below. The antenna cable and retaining clips located behind noise vibration and harshness material require cutting for exposure before disconnecting the cable at its clips. You should connect a suitable draw cord to the antenna cable before pulling it through the opening of the passenger air bag module to show the exposed draw cord. Then detach the draw cord while taking out the antenna cable. The procedure for installing the new antenna cable matches the steps of removal.
