Before you touch the
Antenna cable, disconnect and isolate the negative
Battery Cable to disable the air bag system and then wait at least two minutes to allow the capacitor in the system to lose power. To remove the radio from a domestic model, disconnect the negative battery cable first, take out the radio without pulling the antenna cable right out, then disconnect the antenna cable from the locking connector on the radio. After that, detach the
Glove Box and the panel on the instrument panel side, part the cable connection between the antenna body and instrument panel and release the antenna straps to get to the large antenna cable. For export models, use the same first steps to disable the air bag and detach the negative cable, then take out the instrument panel after disconnecting the antenna cable from the radio by pulling the connector away and then separate the retaining clips that hold the antenna cable to the dashboard before taking out the cable.
