ANTENNA BODY AND CABLE
DESCRIPTION
Domestic vehicles use a fixed-length stainless steel
rod-type antenna mast, installed at the right front
fender of the vehicle. The antenna mast is connected
to the center wire of the coaxial antenna cable, and is
not grounded to any part of the vehicle.
OPERATION
To minimize static, the antenna base must have a
good ground. The coaxial antenna cable shield (the
outer wire mesh of the cable) is grounded to the
antenna base and the radio chassis.
The antenna coaxial cable has an additional dis-
connect, located near the right end of the instrument
panel. This additional disconnect allows the instru-
ment panel assembly to be removed and installed
without removing the radio.

The ohmmeter test lead connections for each test
are shown in (Fig. 2).
TEST 1
Test 1 determines of the antenna mast is insulated
from the base. Proceed as follows:
(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable from the
radio chassis and isolate. Remove the antenna mast.
(2) Connect an ohmmeter test lead to the inside
center of the antenna base. Connect the other test
lead to a metallic portion on the outside of the
antenna base. Check for continuity.
(3) There should be no continuity. If continuity is
found, replace the faulty or damaged antenna base
and cable assembly.
TEST 2
Test 2 checks the antenna for an open circuit as
follows:
(1) Unplug the antenna coaxial cable connector
from the radio chassis. Remove the antenna mast.(2) Connect an ohmmeter test lead to the inside
center of the antenna base. Connect the other test
lead to the center pin of the antenna coaxial cable
connector.
(3) Continuity should exist (the ohmmeter should
only register a fraction of an ohm). High or infinite
resistance indicates damage to the base and cable
assembly. Replace the faulty base and cable if
required.
TEST 3
Test 3 checks the condition of the ground between
the antenna base and the vehicle body as follows:
(1) Connect one ohmmeter test lead to the fender
on an exposed metal area. Connect the other test
lead to the outer crimp on the antenna coaxial cable
connector.
(2) The resistance should be less than (1) ohm.
(3) If the resistance is more than (1) ohm, clean
and/or tighten the antenna base to the fender mount-
ing hardware.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove glove box from instrument panel,
(Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENT PANEL/GLOVE
BOX - REMOVAL).
(3) Disconnect antenna cable connector from exten-
sion cable (Fig. 3).
(4) Remove right kick trim panel.
(5) Disengage rubber grommet insulator from door
hinge pillar.
(6) Pull antenna cable through hinge pillar into
opening between door hinges.
(7) Hoist and support vehicle on safety stands.
(8) Remove front wheel.
(9) Remove front wheelhouse splash shield. (Refer
to 23 - BODY/EXTERIOR/LF WHEELHOUSE
SPLASH SHIELD - REMOVAL).
(10) Remove antenna mast from antenna base
(Fig. 4).
(11) Using cap nut tool, remove cap nut holding
antenna base to front fender (Fig. 5).
(12) Remove antenna base from under front
fender.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install antenna base to underside of front
fender.
(2) Install cap nut holding antenna base to front
fender.
(3) Install antenna mast to antenna baseEnsure
that the antenna mast is fully seated on
antenna base, and that there is no gap between
the mast and base..

ANTENNA MODULE - EXPORT
DESCRIPTION
The antenna module is an electromagnetic circuit
component designed to capture and enhance RF
(Radio Frequency) signals in both the AM and FM
broadcast bands. The antenna module is mounted to
the right rear roof rail under the headliner. The mod-
ule is grounded through the mounting bracket and
fastener. The module has a two wire electrical con-
nector that connects to the integral radio antenna,located on the right rear quarter glass. There is also
an electrical connector for battery voltage and a coax
cable connector.OPERATION
The antenna module receives both AM and FM
radio signals supplied by the side window integral
radio antenna system and selectively amplifies them.
The amplified signal is then sent through the body
length coax cable to the radio input.

CD CHANGER
DESCRIPTION
The 6 Disc In-Dash CD Changer (if equipped) is
located in the instrument panel below the radio. The
remote changer does not use a cartridge or magazine
for the CD's. Up to 6 CD's can be directly loaded into
this unit.
OPERATION
Due to its compact design, the CD changer can
carry out only one operation at a time. For example,
you can not load a new disc while playing another at
the same time. Each operation happens sequentially.
The radio unit provides control over all features of
the CD changer with the exception of the CD load
and eject functions, which are controlled by buttons
located on the front of the CD changer. All features
you would expect, such as Disc Up/Down, Track
Up/Down, Random and Scan are controlled by the
radio, which also displays all relevant CD changer
information on the radio display.
The CD changer contains a Eject button, six disc
buttons, an indicator LED for each of the six disc
positions as well as an illuminated disc opening. The
individual LED indicates whether a CD is currently
loaded in that particular chamber of the CD changer.
Pressing the individual button for a particular cham-
ber, then the Eject button will eject a disc currently
present in that chamber. If the chamber is currently
empty, actuating the individual button will position
that chamber to receive and load a new disc in that
chamber.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable.
(2) Remove screws holding CD changer.
(3) Disconnect the wire connector from the back of
the CD changer.
(4) Remove the CD changer from the vehicle (Fig.
9).
INSTALLATION
(1) Reconnect the wire connector to the CD
changer.
(2) Insert the CD changer into the instrument
panel.
NOTE: Use care when inserting CD changer so that
cable is not pinched or trapped against instrument
panel.

The antenna grid pattern is divided into two sepa-
rate patterns. Each terminal connects to a separate
grid pattern, one for AM and the other for FM.
For circuit descriptions and diagrams, refer to the
appropriate wiring information.
(1) Disconnect the antenna module connector from
the antenna terminals on the glass.
(2) Using an ohmmeter, place a lead on one of the
terminals and check each end of the grid pattern con-
nected to this terminal for continuity. If continuity is
not present, move one lead through the grid in pro-
gression starting at the terminal with the other lead
on the terminal until continuity is lost. Repeat pro-
cedure for the other terminal. A break in the antenna
grid can be repaired using a Mopar Rear Window
Defogger Repair Kit (Part Number 4267922) or
equivalent. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/HEATED
GLASS/WINDSHIELD GRID - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).
