Coaxial Cable Repair Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 GMC Acadia. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Identify the faulty/damaged coaxial cable.
- Disconnect the faulty/damaged coaxial cable and leave it in the vehicle.
- Identify the type of coaxial cable to be replaced and match up with the appropriate pieces to repair the damaged coaxial cable. Match up the type of coaxial cable, cable length and connector types. In some cases there may be extra length of cable left over.
Install the new coaxial cable in the vehicle.
NOTE:Avoid routing the new coaxial cable near sharp edges that can damage the new coaxial cable.
Use tie-straps to attach the new service coaxial cable to existing harnesses or brackets. Use felt tape/foam to reduce rattles, as necessary.
- Remove the faulty/damaged connectors, if applicable.
- Install new connectors or jumpers, as needed. Refer to Connector Housing Repair Procedure.
- Verify the repair by operating the system with the vehicle in Service Mode.
NOTE:
To avoid permanent damage, do not pinch the cable or bend it tighter than a 2 inch (5 centimeter) radius.
