Replacing a Power Antenna: Reconnect Electric Cable

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Nate MacCollough, on behalf of Expert Village. In the following clips we're going to talk about some of the common failures with your power antennae and how to remove and replace one. In this clip we're going to talk about reconnecting your power antennae to the various systems it has that operate. First of all, we're going to plug in the receiver portion of our power antennae. This is your standard coaxial cable, it's pretty much the same stuff that you use to run cable TV for your house. We got our male in here, notice the nut sticking out on it, and the female in here, just put them together, it's spring loaded, so it holds itself. Give her a little wiggle, make sure it's firmly seated, and that is hooking up the actual antennae portion of your power antennae. The other connector we have is this one here. This is all of the electronics, the ups, the downs, the ins and outs of your power antennae. Take and insert it into the connection on our new part. They're already lined up. You're going to want to press until you hear a click, right there. When you hear the click you know it's firmly seated, and that portion of it needs no further attention. The last thing I'm going to hook up is the drain tube, it goes right around here and plugs into the drain hole on the bottom of the antennae motor. Right there. That is the proper way to reconnect your antennae signal, your drain tube, and the electronics on your power antennae."
