GENERAL INFORMATION
INTERFERENCE ELIMINATION
A number of components are used on vehicles
equipped with a radio, to suppress radio frequency
interference (static).
Capacitors are mounted in the generator and power
mirror motors.
Radio resistance type spark plugs in the high ten-
sion circuit of the ignition system complete the inter-
ference suppression.
If radio noises are evident, isolate circuits with
capacitors to be sure they are the cause. Faulty or

GENERAL INFORMATION
AM/FM radio model antennas must have a good
ground to eliminate static. The antenna mast is con-
nected to the inner wire of the co-axial cable and is
not grounded to any part of the vehicle. The coaxial
shield (the wire mesh) surrounding the center conduc-
tor wire of the antenna lead-in cable is grounded to
the radio and the antenna base.
REPLACEMENT
(1) Remove the fender inner splash panel to gain
access to the antenna base and cable.
(2) Remove the antenna mast, cap nut and escutch-
eon from the top of the fender (Fig. 1).
(3) Remove the passenger side kick panel.
(4) Disconnect the antenna lead (Fig. 2) by pulling
apart while twisting the metal connectors. DO NOT
PULL ON THE COAX CABLE.
(5) Pull the rubber grommet out of the kick panel.
(6) Remove the antenna assembly from the inside
of the wheel well.
(7) To install the antenna, reverse the removal pro- Fig. 1 Remove/Install Nut and Escutcheon

extended and retracted by a reversible electric motor.
The antenna is controlled by a combination of an
external relay and two limit switches that are built
into the antenna motor housing. There is a gear-
operated cam system to activate the switches. The
limit switches are used to open the motor circuits
when the antenna mast reaches the full UP position.
The antenna cannot be adjusted to an inter-
mediate position. It must be fully extended or
retracted.
When the radio or ignition is turned OFF, the relay
coil is de-energized. With the coil de-energized battery
voltage switches to the motor through the closed
lower limit switch. The antenna then retracts until
the lower limit switch opens.
REPLACEMENT
(1) Open glove box and remove 3 screws holding
relay center cover (Fig. 1).
