How to remove and install the antenna from the instrument panel on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

Unplug the radio from its dashboard position and take away the antenna connection on its back. Pull the antenna cable out from where it clips to the plastic parts at the top of the defroster nozzle. Take off the antenna top gently with a little screwdriver by releasing it from its base. On the later models from 1997, start with pulling the sleeve, unscrew the mast, and then remove the cap and mounting screws, always removing the mast first. Secure string double-ended on radio antenna end and where it plugs into the instrument panel. Pull the new antenna cable following the path where the original wire passed. Gentle pulling on the antenna cable through a body opening removes the screws holding the base to the radio body, allowing you to pull the cable out along with the antenna and soft rubber gasket. Following the removal work, we insert a fresh gasket, untie the pieces of string, slide the string onto the antenna wire, slowly feed the wire and string backward from through the body space, and finally dispose of the string.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Antenna

With its Ford Explorer Sport Trac Antenna, AM and FM reception are clear and crisp for entertainment or information. The first Explorer Sport Trac had a nearly four-foot manually telescoping mast. However, later Ford versions had a compact version for the garage. Depending on trim, owners could see an internal Antenna design hidden in the windshield or dash, an external steel or fiberglass whip by the hood, or roof satellite style for top-tier sound. Every Antenna connects to the radio through wiring and works with an amplifier to strengthen the signal in every drive. Customers choose the external Antenna for its durability while the concealed internal component preserves clean lines. Meanwhile, the option with satellite excels at providing clarity during long trips. Any powertrain deployed in the Ford Explorer Sport Trac will restrict mounting points to the hood, roof, or cabin panel. Such a strategy strikes a simple balance of style and performance. Keeping the Antenna free of ice or heavy debris helps ring up peak reception, while precise tuning from Ford ensures every Explorer Sport Trac turns everyday drives into connected journeys.

We provide a wide range of Ford Explorer Sport Trac Antenna at the optimal prices. If you need Ford Explorer Sport Trac Antenna, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your doorstep with a fast delivery service.
