POWER ANTENNA MAST REPLACEMENT (HARADA)


Power antenna masts on 1991 and 1992 Sonatas which are broken or bent can be repaired without replacing the entire antenna assembly. A separate antenna mast is available for the Harada power antennas. (For power antenna mast replacements on 1989 and 1990 Sonatas, see TSB, Volume 2, page 215 - Body Electrical, Group 90, Number 5 (2-90-0051).


Perform the following steps to replace the mast only:

Note:
Two technicians are needed for this procedure. One in the car and one at the antenna.





1. Remove the antenna mounting nut.


2. Remove the antenna mast by turning on the radio. This will cause the antenna mast to be pushed out of the mast housing. After the antenna motor has stopped spooling, gently pull on the white serrated cable until the mast/cord assembly is removed. Remove the contact spring if it did not come out with the antenna mast.





3. Insert the serrated cable from the new antenna into the mast housing until resistance is felt (approximately 12").

NOTE:
The serrated side of the cable must face the rear of the car.

4. Manually collapse the replacement mast, and then turn off the radio. The serrated cable should start to retract (the cable retracts rather fast). As the cable retracts, the base of the mast must be lined up with the mast housing (hole).

NOTE:
If the serrated cable does not retract into the housing, turn on the radio, rotate the cable slightly, clockwise or counterclockwise, and repeat step 4.


5. Insert the antenna mast and contact spring into the housing.

6. Reinstall the antenna mast mounting nut and tighten.

7. Cycle the antenna several times to make sure the mast operates properly.


CLEANING PROCEDURES:

Periodic cleaning may be necessary to assure proper radio and power antenna operation. Do no lubricate the antenna mast. Lubrication will cause damage to antenna operation from the collection of dust.

1. Actuate antenna to full mast extention.

2. Dampen clean cloth with mineral spirits.

3. Wipe cloth over the antenna mast sections removing any dirt or grime residue.

4. Actuate antenna through one complete cycle (retract and extend).

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 at least two more times.
