Antenna replacement Hi, I replaced my car stereo recently but it doesn't really help that someone had snapped off my antenna. My Nissan has a power antenna. The antenna that I got to replace it is just a standard one that doesn't move or anything. I also got an antenna adapter. Unfortunately, I don't know how to remove the antenna nor how to put in my new one or the adapter. If you could help, that would be awesome. Thank you

The configuration of a car stereo antenna depends on the type of antenna that you have in your vehicle. Here are the steps for configuring a few common types of car stereo antennas:

1. Manual Antenna:

• Locate the antenna mast and the antenna base.
• If the antenna mast is extended, pull it down until it clicks into place.
• If the antenna mast is retracted, turn the antenna base clockwise to extend it.
• Tighten the antenna base to secure it in place.

1. Power Antenna:

• Turn the car stereo on.
• If the power antenna is not already extended, press the "Power" button on the stereo or on the dashboard to extend it.
• If the power antenna does not extend, check the fuse and the wiring connections to make sure they are secure.

1. Amplified Antenna:

• Connect the antenna cable to the amplifier.
• Connect the amplifier to the power source and ground.
• Turn the amplifier on.
• If the antenna does not extend, check the fuse and the wiring connections to make sure they are secure.

It's important to note that these are general steps and the specific configuration for your car stereo antenna may differ. If you are unsure about how to configure your antenna, it is best to consult the owner's manual or a professional installer for assistance.

The new antenna is not properly grounded, or the power antenna is not a powered one. The radio uses it to ground, or the radio and light circuit needs alternate ground.

start with the fuses-next did you knock some wiring loose while replacing antenna wiring-cheers Denny

Hi John,here's a link on removing your power antenna.

The original radio is a BOSE system and it has a buit in amp. So if you replaced the deck you need to replace the speakers all so. Don't cut the wires to hook-up the deck buy an addapter KIT. It's not just the stereo that runs though that harness the factory alarm does all so and that will cause you problems. Anyway back to the stereo you need to add an amplifier and problem sovled.

Hope this helps you ??

I really hope this help (rememmber comment and rated this help). Good luck.

You need to access from outside the vehicle. You have to remove the shroud that is inside of the wheel well. It is not a very easy task I hope this helps.

At the base of the antenna, take a small crescent wrench or pliers and unscrew the antenna from the mounting bracket. Any Chrysler dealer should have a replacement antenna.

You will just need to get a antenna that will fit your vehicle try a local stereo shop and wire it in.
