Audio Systems: 2002 Cavalier Radio Removal, antenna connector, antenna cable


Question
Jerry,
I have removed the dash and the radio as well.  My question is about the antenna cable.  It appears to be attached to the radio permanently.  Does the cable disconnect directly form the radio or is it back in the harness somewhere?  I may not be pulling the cable hard enough, but I'm afraid to break it.

Answer
Antennas usually connect to the radio in one of two ways.
1) They can plug directly into a hole in the radio case.
2) They are plugged into a short 'pigtail' that comes from the radio. Pigtails are usually less than 10" long and are simply a short antenna connector lead.

Follow that wire and free it from the dash, if possible. Then you should find a connector.
