Examination
Fig. 19.53. Electrical circuit for testing an antenna with an electric drive
Draw an electric circuit as shown in Fig. 19.53 (solid lines).
1. Check that the antenna extends when the connection indicated by the dotted line is closed.
2. Check that the antenna retracts when the connection indicated by the dotted line is broken.
Replacing the retractable antenna
1. Unscrew the round nut.
Fig. 19.54. Removing the telescopic part of the antenna: 1 – telescopic part of the antenna; 2 – toothed cable
2. After turning the ignition key to the "ACC" or "ON" position, turn the radio switch to the "ON" position to raise the retractable antenna and remove it together with the toothed cable (Fig. 19.54).
3. Extend the retractable antenna to its maximum length.
Caution: If the toothed cable is bent in the area of the electric drive, correct the bend.
Fig. 19.55. Installing the cable with the toothed part facing the luggage compartment: 1 – toothed part of the cable; 2 – luggage compartment side; 3 – Elimination of toothed cable bending
4. Insert the toothed cable into the electric drive so that the toothed part of the cable is directed towards the luggage compartment (Fig. 19.55).
Fig. 19.56. Subsequent rotation of the toothed part of the cable towards the rear of the vehicle: 1 – toothed part of the cable; 2 – rear of the car
5. Turn the teeth of the toothed cable towards the rear of the vehicle (exactly 90°) so that the toothed cable engages with the electric drive gear (Fig. 19.56).
6. If the toothed cable is pulled out without resistance when lightly pulled, it is not engaged with the electric drive gear. In this case, check the cable for bends at the end and reinstall it.
7. Position the retractable antenna vertically and turn the radio switch to the "OFF" position to retract the toothed cable. Insert the retractable antenna from its motor side to align it with the wound toothed cable.
8. After tightening the round nut, check the antenna movement by turning the radio on and off.
