Turn the radio ON. Measure the voltage between terminal 2 of the harness antenna feeder cable (A) and body ground (B).
|
| Antenna Grid Line Inspection |
| 1. |
Wrap aluminum foil (A) around the tip of the tester probe (B) as shown.
|
| 2. |
Touch one tester probe to the glass antenna terminal (A) and move the other tester probe along the antenna wires to check that continuity exists.
|
| Glass Antenna Grid Line Repair |
To make an effective repair, the broken section must be no longer than one inch. |
| 1. |
Lightly rub the area around the broken section (A) with fine steel wool, and then clean it with alcohol.
|
| 2. |
Carefully mask above and below the broken portion of the glass antenna wire (B) with cellophane tape (C). |
| 3. |
Using a small brush, apply a heavy coat of silver conductive paint (A) extending about 1/8″on both sides of the break. Allow 30 minutes to dry.
|
| 4. |
Check for continuity in the repaired wire. |
| 5. |
Apply a second coat of paint in the same way. Let it dry three hours before removing the tape. |
| Antenna Cable |
| 1. |
Check for continuity between the center poles of antenna cable.
|
| 2. |
Check for continuity between the outer poles of antenna cable. There should be continuity.
|
| 3. |
If there is no continuity, replace the antenna cable. |
| 4. |
Check for continuity between the center pole (A) of antenna cable and terminal of glass antenna (B). There should be continuity.
|
| 5. |
If there is no continuity, replace the antenna amplifier. |
| 6. |
Check for continuity between the center pole (A) and outer pole (B) of antenna cable. There should be no continuity.
|
