If the antenna cover is cracked moisture might seep in going through a laser car wash, and if the radio is on at the time it might create a temporary fuse shut down. Just open the fuse box and reset the fuse and the radio will come back on. Suggestion: turn off radio while in the car wash.
Be sure to seal up the cracks on the antenna with a tube of silicone. I might never happen again.

Replaced 1998 Infiniti water corrosion shorted power antenna now antenna will go up and return when power short but does not rise and return when the radio is run where is radio to antenna fuse?
be careful with acne. if you pick at it, it turns out it actually does make little scars on your face. this makes sense because picked-at acne is little wounds.
How do you remove power antenna from 1999 pathfinder?
if it is like a '95.....remove the left front wheel.....remove the plastic fender well.....it is attached to a bracket right there above the well....I replaced my power antenna with a short rubber whip antenna.......
Will a 27mhz cb antenna work on your uhf cb radio?
No, this is not a wise move to make. The antenna metals are not the same. you have to know that antenna metals are different within all Mhz. 2nd- The connectors are different. CB has a wider coax connector and Uhf us smaller. Radio Range/ distance will be less if you use a short wave antenna known as CB. Best to get a High wave antenna- UHF. 27 Mhz is cb radio and the waves are low and long (about 11 meters). 400-460 Mhz is UHF and the waves are high and short (about 67 centimeters). You would need a UHF radio antenna to get the best SWR. Installing a UHF antenna on a car it would require a proper uhf antenna and coax and drilling and using only a UHF Coax cable with the connector. Or buy the Uhf magnet antenna. They are hard to find in your local city and they are pricy because you cant buy them used or at cb shops. you will have to buy one online or go to a Junk yard and find a Police car that has one on top of car. You can Mod Coax cables only if its a UHF cable and antenna. Grounding a car UHF antenna in house can be difficult. Don't run ground to AC ground! you can damage radio. Run Ground wire to the dirt outside and dig a hole and fix with a little water and keep hot coax separated from ground on uhf. Best is to run this to Gutter on roof. Do not MOD CB coaxes with UHF antenna or mix with magnet antenna or CB, VHF, Marine radios. You will waste your time. 800 Mhz police antenna will be your closest match if you decide to do this. It goes by the wave and wave length. Keep Digging
Why the antenna of radio are vertical?
Not all radio antennas are vertical.The main reason radio antennas tend to be vertical is convenience of mounting. Many early radio antennas were long horizontal wires strung between two poles or trees. This was also a matter of convenience in mounting such a long antenna (e.g. 50 feet to 100 feet in length).When you are operating radios in the VHF or UHF band a vertical or horizontal mounting of the short antennas used at these frequencies might be selected to improve reception of a polarized radio signal sent by the transmitter.
Compare CB radio and VHF radio?
Yes, but not very effectively. VHF and CB radios are on different frequencies and therefore for best efficiency require different length antennas. You might be able to receive with the CB antenna, but transmitting will result in a high SWR and possibly overheat, shutdown, or destroy your VHF radio.
With the antenna connected the FM is weak when the antenna is disconnected the signal comes in stronger what could the problem be?
The antenna or the cable between it and the radio probably has a short to the body of the van.

1996 Chrysler LHS radio powers on but not able to receive signal only for short period of time then cuts off and you get static Could this be antenna problem or ground wire problem Fuse checks out.?
I have had this exact problem. In my case, it was the antenna connector on the radio itself. It needs to be resoldered on the radio and then it will work just fine. - RL
What is a power antenna wire on a car stereo?
This is only used if your vehicle has a motorized antenna that pops up only when the radio is on, then retracts when the radio is off. A voltage is sent from the stereo through this wire to a relay which applied power to the antenna. If you don't need it the wire from the stereo should be capped off to prevent a short occurring if it were to ground out under the dash somehow.
You have a 94 Dodge Intrepid you installed an aftermarket radio in it if you turn the headlights on it will blow the fuse for the head lights but if ya dont plug the antenna in they stay on?
if your illumination wire is bare and touching the radio it will short it out
Why you are using capacitive hat in short antennas?
Capacitive hats are used to alter the distribution of the current on a short antenna so that the antenna current is not concentrated near the ground. A whip or short antenna can be modeled as a series of LC circuits in which the capacitance per unit length is highest near the base and the inductance per unit length is highest near the top. A capacitive hat simply adds capacitance to the antenna. It basically makes the antenna seem longer, but maximum current is still at the base.The reason why you'd want to make your short antenna longer, is to obtain the antenna's resonance frequency. The length required to do this is a quarter or a half of the wavelength of the radio wave that it's receiving. At resonance, the electrical resistance of the antenna drastically drops, which effectively increases the Q factor, or quality factor, of the resultant output signal. The term Q factor is simply a measurement of how good the clarity and stability of the output signal is, the higher the better when dealing with radios and televisions.Of course, instead of using a capacitive hat on your antenna, you could always physically lengthen the antenna itself. However, considering that commonly-used radio waves can be up to 10 m (33 ft) long, your antenna would have to be about 8 feet long, which would make using your radio a bit awkward.
On your 1998 montero sport you replaced the power ant all wiring is correct and the cable is plugged into the stereo but no FM signal do have AM tho anyone got an idea?
Try this... tune in a weak AM station. Have someone "short out" the antenna by touching it while laying a hand on the bodywork sheetmetal. If the station goes away (or "dims out" significantly) then the antenna is good and your radio is likely at fault. If, however, there is NO change when they touch or release the antenna staff then you do NOT have a good/proper antenna connection to the radio (most likely) or the antenna housing. Verify connection to both ends of the antenna cable . Note, you may have to push the antenna WAY into the radio to get it to connect, make shure it cannot be pushed in any farther no matter how hard you try! good luck!
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 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.
Will a rooftop antenna work with a digital converter box?
Short answer: Yes!Longer answer: Digital TV and Analog TV share much in common; they are both radio signals, and in the same bands -- in fact the channel number assignments for the physical channels are identical. Your rooftop antenna picks up the radio signal no matter what is encoded on it. It is up to the receiver (your converter box, f'r'instance) to make sense of what comes from that antenna. Select a VHF/UHF type.
