Hi sure hope some one can tell me how to change out the antenna, the mast broke off, and I can't get to the connection on the radio.
Help would be appreciated.    Jim

Jim,
 Remove the front right wheel and the plastic inner fender. You'll see the antenna unit then. You'll also need to remove the lower right dash panel to access a relay that has two plugs. One plug has a white, green and grey wire. This plug goes to the antenna (power antenna only). The wiring to the antenna goes through a large rubber grommet that inserts through the outside of the firewall, next to the antenna. The coax has two sections. The section that actually goes to the antenna unit plugs in behind right side of dash just to the inside upper or lower right hand corner next to the the glove box. You may also need to remove the glove box to locate the coax plug. Don't worry about going behind the actual radio for antenna connections. Trust us, these steps are easiest! P.S. This was for a Power Antenna only--- The steps for a fixed antenna are the same but only apply to the coax cable.
