Cut the electrical connection or remove the plug behind the radio. Buy a new antenna at Radio Shack. Remove inner fender (plastic) for access to antennna.
In the trunk of the car, where the antenna is on the outside, there are pretty flimsy panels that line the trunk. Pry the circular clips out with a flat head screwdriver but be careful not to break them because the more you lose, the looser those panels are when you put it all back together. There will be a box that houses the antenna behind the obvious panel in your trunk, where the antenna is on the outside. There are a few bolts that secure the box to the car, and the antenna unscrews from the outside (even in the down position) so you can remove the box from the inside. There is a circular dome shaped piece of plastic that the antenna sits in on the outside of the car when it is retracted and it will unscrew with a little finesse. The wires to the antenna are connected with a harness, just like most other wiring in these cars, so use a flat-head screwdriver to disconnect the harness. You will need to disconnect both the power to the antenna and the line from the antenna to the stereo. It may take some maneuvering, I don't think it just slides out but it is replaceable. Assembly is the same as taking it apart, but if you need more help, I always refer back to a manual (sold in car part stores for $15-20).
Stays ? You mean doesn't work ? Most common problem is just sticking, telescopic and power antennas should be lightly oiled after each wash. Try very carefully to draw it out by hand when a friend turns the power on on the radio (on the automatic antenna; if it is out and doesn't go in, then don't try to push it in - You probably just will kink the antenna). Check the fuse next, then the rest of the analyses nearly requires taking the antenna out from under the fender and use the voltmeter to check things.
by taking the cables out
no...you have to take out all the water cannister, the computer, the air box horns etc....
take the old one out by opening the glove compartment and taking the two screws out and take that part of the dash off and take the two screws off the stereo and disconnect the antenna and wire harness buy a installation kit and a antenna adapter and a wire harness and match the wires from new stereo to the wire harness the instructions are all there with the kit i think any store that sells stereos has these kits it will only take about about hour and a half
You don't have to disconnect the A/C compressor, but you do have to unbolt it and drop it out of the way. There are four bolts facing the front of the car holding the compressor in place.
your starter is bad, has a short in it, or is sticking, you might be able to get the starter tested without taking it off your vehicle.
To remove the fender on a 1998 Expedition XLT, start by disconnecting the battery to ensure safety.
