ISSUE:
Poor AM/FM radio reception may sometimes occur. There may be slow deterioration of distant stations, followed by a loss of strong local
stations. This condition may be caused by internal corrosion in the antenna connector at the antenna base end.
ACTION:
Check the antenna connector at the antenna for corrosion and, if necessary, replace the antenna cable. Lubriplate DS-ES must be applied to
the female end of the antenna connector end and around the antenna cable. Refer to the appropriate model year Shop Manual, Section
35-10, for service details.
NOTE: BEFORE REPLACING THE ANTENNA CABLE, APPLY GREASE LUBRIPLATE DS-ES TO THE FEMALE CONNECTOR AT THE
ANTENNA END AND AROUND THE ANTENNA CABLE WHERE IT ENTERS THE CONNECTOR. THIS WILL KEEP MOISTURE
AND ROAD SPLASH OUT.
