ANTENNA - QUARTER GLASS DESCRIPTION The integral radio antenna element is bonded to the OPERATION The integral antenna receives RF (Radio Frequencies) and sends them to the antenna module for amplification. DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING QUARTER GLASS ANTENNA For complete circuit diagrams, refer to the appropriate wiring information. To detect breaks in the integral antenna elements, perform the following procedure: 1. Disconnect the antenna module connector from the antenna. 2. Using an Ohmmeter, place one test lead on the left hand terminal. Place the other test lead on the end of the conductor. Trace down the path to the end of the conductors. There should be continuity to each end of this 3. Place one test lead on the right hand terminal. Place the other test lead on the end of the conductor. Trace down the path to the end of the conductors. There should be continuity to each end of this conductive trace. 4. While keeping the Ohmmeter lead on the left hand terminal, place the other lead on the right hand terminal. There should be an open circuit with no continuity between the terminals. 5. A break in the antenna grid can be repaired using a Mopar Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit or equivalent. 8A - 180 AUDIO/VIDEO - SERVICE INFORMATION WK |
