Power Antenna Mast Instructions
|
|
Before installing your new mast, compare the old mast with the new one.
They need to be identical in every way. If they are different, you may have
an after market power unit. Also it is very important that you
NEVER
cut the white cable on the new mast at any time.
Removing the Mast:
-
Remove the power unit from
your car, yet before you do make sure the radio is off so that the power
antenna thinks the mast is all the way down, this is so when you install
the new mast that the geared drum is where it belongs when you install the
mast. After the unit has been removed take the power unit to a bench
and remove the four (4) Phillips screws and the 7mm nut from the drum
cover.

and carefully remove the flat cable with the ball from the black retainer
that inside the drum.

Installing the Mast:
Compare the old mast with the new one, the length of
the white flat cable MUST be the same length of the one you took out of
your power unit ( DO
NOT CUT THE NEW MAST CABLE ) .... Now insert the new mast
cable into the power antenna tube and tighten the chrome nut... The
round plastic washer sits down into the bottom of the tube if you wonder
about it.
Now connect the ball at the end of the
flat mast cable to the black bracket that slides inside of the drum.
Gently slide the black ring into the drum.

Now wind that cable up inside of that
drum as tight as you can and holding that cable inside the drum, slide the
white drum back on
the center shaft and push it back down in where it belongs into the black
antenna motor housing.

Now put the thrust washer back on the shaft and put
the cover back on tighten the four screws and the 7mm nut... Take the
power unit
and reinstall the complete unit into your
car. Turn the radio on and off a few times as this will center
the new antenna mast. then, "Voila! The mast is installed."
