• Q: How to Service and Repair the Lead-In Antenna Cable on 2007 Ford F-250 Super Duty?

  A: The procedure for antenna lead-in cable repair starts with antenna base removal followed by repositioning the right-hand front fender splash shield from the bulkhead. First detach the two nuts along with screws and pin-type retainers before removing the lower right-hand A-pillar trim panel and the pin-type retainer. Disconnect the antenna lead-in cable grommet at the bulkhead to gain access for pulling in extra cable length toward the passenger compartment. Next, remove the audio unit. The vehicle includes an antenna lead-in cable connected to the instrument panel reinforcement and defroster air duct and it must stay in place. Cutter cleave the original antenna lead-in cable connectors plus trim off excess cable ends before tying the cable remnants to stop rattle noise or cable identification problems. The antenna lead-in cable installation requires passing the new cable through the passenger compartment while ensuring complete grommet seating. Install the new cable to the instrument panel reinforcement before you replace the audio unit. Reconnect the pin-type retainer with the lower right-hand A-pillar trim panel and run the antenna wire through the antenna base opening on the cowl before putting the right-hand front fender splash shield back on the bulkhead. Put on all two nuts and screws and pin-type retainers and place the antenna base.
