Antenna
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
If your antenna mast is the type where you can unscrew the mast from the fender, simply do so with a pair of pliers. Most damaged antennas are simply the result of a truck wash or similar mishap, in which the mast is bent.
Manual Antenna
Disconnect the antenna cable at the radio by pulling it straight out of the set. Depending on access, this may require loosening the radio and pulling it out of the dash.
Working under the instrument panel, disengage the cable from its retainers.
NOTE: On some models, it may be necessary to remove the instrument panel pad to get at the cable.
Outside, unsnap the cap from the antenna base.
Remove the screw(s) and lift off the antenna, pulling the cable with it, carefully.
When reinstalling, make certain the antenna mount area is clean and free of rust and dirt. The antenna must make a proper ground contact through its base to work properly.
Install the screws and route the cable into the cab. Make certain the cable is retained in the clips, etc.
Connect the cable to the radio; reinstall the radio if it was removed.
Power Antenna Mast
NOTE: The power antenna system contains a relay. If the power antenna is inoperative, the relay is the first place to look. The actual motor rarely fails.
The power antenna mast is replaceable on the Pick-Up and 4Runners. If the mast is damaged or broken, proceed as follows:
Perform this repair with the battery cables connected. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
Remove the antenna nut.
If equipped with a CD player, press the AM and FM buttons on the receiver and simultaneously turn the ignition switch to ACC.
For non-CD player units, press the AM button and simultaneously turn the ignition switch to ACC.
The antenna motor will run, unwinding the mast from the spool. have an assistant guide the mast so it doesn't fall and damage the bodywork. When fully extended, the mast will be released. Remove it, and leave the ignition in the ACC position.
To install:
Insert the new cable so that the teeth face the rear of the vehicle. Feed the cable into the motor until the cable reaches the bottom, about 12 in. (30cm).
Have an assistant ready and prepared to guide the cable. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK. The motor will run, winding the cable onto the spool and drawing the antenna down into the mount.
If the cable does not wind, twist the cable at the top of the housing; the part at the bottom may have turned while being pushed down the hole.
Once wound onto the spool, install the antenna nut even if the antenna is not fully retracted. Test the antenna elevation and retraction; the mast will eventually retract fully.
