What will cause a 1991 Dodge Spirit factory radio to short out even with a new power cable and a new ground possibly the antenna?

The antenna wouldn't cause it to short out, that just helps it receive the signals to play music on the radio... How old is the radio... if it is factory from 91 then it might of been its time to go... i have a radio from a 90 Dodge Caravan, same as whats in your Dodge Spirit cause they carry the same radio and it short out on its own where the numbers and stuff wont light up but will still play music... I took the radio out of my 92 Dodge Spirit and put it in the van (since the trans went out in the 92 Spirit) and it works great... it might of just went out because it was ready to go.

How do you ground a mobile CB antenna when using it as a base antenna?

How do you ground a CB radio antenna?
Grounding is accomplished by connecting a heavy cable from the ground side of the antenna to a ground rod. A ground rod is typically a 4 - 8 foot copper plated steel rod driven into the ground as close as possible to the antenna, making the wire connection as short as possible. All equipment should also be grounded to a rod, not just the antenna.
Your stereo is on without a ground what is wrong?
The radio is grounding through the antenna connection. Unplug the antenna and see that it will stop. However you still need to hook up the ground 1st and the antenna last.
Does an ungrounded antenna near the ground act like a single antenna with twice the height?
A better simple approximation would be two antennas separated by twice the distance of the single antenna to the ground.
1991 capri does the radio need to be grounded separetly oR IS IT ALREADY GROUNDED through THE HARNESS OR ANTENNA?
It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded. It is not grounded thru the antenna. Just run a ground wire from the radio chassis to any ground location.It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded.

Can you ground a antenna with a wire?
no it will mess up the reception
Will a damaged antenna cable to an aftermarket stereo prevent the stereo from turning on?
no. first check fuses. check ground. check for voltage to memory, and switched power to radio. the only time the antenna would affect the radio in that manner is if the ground was connected to the antenna.
What is the difference between monopole antenna and dipole antenna?
Monopole is an antenna with just the radiating element where the ground of the transmitter is connected to an electrical ground which serves as an Image ground to the radiating element. Thus the name "mono" pole. Dipole is where the ground and the radiating elements are connected to two different elements where one is the radiating element and the other is the ground to the later. Thus the name "Di" Pole Cheers by zafran khan

Is there any uses for a tv antenna tower?
Yes, a tower can hold a antenna high off the ground allowing a better signal to the receiver or from the transmitter.
Why you should connect your TV antenna to a metal rod that is driven into ground?
In case of a lightening strike.
