Coaxial Cable Repairs: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The GM global coaxial (coax) cable repair strategy uses coaxial cables, connectors and jumpers to repair coaxial cables. The intent is to install the new service cable in vehicle, but removal of the old cable is not necessary. There are several repair scenarios:

New cables, jumpers, and connector housing are required.
Only new cables are required while it is possible to reuse the existing connector housing in vehicle. A jumper may or may not be needed.
Only new connector housing are required, while it is possible to reuse the existing cable in the vehicle.
A new cable would need to be installed from source to destination and by-pass the inline connector in some cases when an inline connector is unrepairable (Example: a cracked male end of a 1-way connector).
