Ever since I got my jeep. The radio has barely ever worked and I figured out its the antenna wire itself, is that easy to change? Any tips?

You know there is a bottom connection,The plastic side bottom on passanger side by where the feet would be. Unscrew it and you will see cable. disconnect and there will be a spring inside. Take it out and put back together and see how it works.

The wire that hooked into the radio is disconnected. Right now I just stuck in aware inside of it. So I'd have to put that back together and I hate taking that dash apart it feels like its gonna break every time so I wanna just do this once. But I will try it if no one can tell me just how to replace the whole wire.

Either way, you're going to have to get to the backside of the radio.

The wire comes with the antenna. I don't think it is available separately.

They do. I picked up something that I will try. I'll post a pic of it

Run it?

What exactly are you asking, having trouble near the quarter panel?

Cherokeekid4x4

The whole thing. from where the wire goes into the radio. its missing the hook in thing or something. its just a black wire with copper wire surronding a plastic tube and i just need to replace it all. the antenna, wire. just it all so how do i do that! i keep searching but cant even find a freaking wire to even buy let alone how to replace one.

more info, what exactly are you asking?
theres two pieces one from antenna to inside the cabin, than from there to the radio, seperate the wire found down at the floor on passenger side kick panel and fish thru dash to radio

Sounds like they sent you an unterminated cable.

Before you ask, google how to terminate a copper cable

so there is no way that the part thats bad is the wire that goes thru the fender to the antenna baase to the antenna???? and i cant hook up the original wire to the back of the radio because theres nothing its just a cut wire. lemme snag some pics

That's my problem. No way to connect the wire to the freaking radio cause some badword guy couldn't keep it on there appearantly

Cherokeekid4x4

no one sent me anything man. its just how it is but that picture you have is exactly what the wire looks like and i googled it but theres many things. i clicked on a website that shows how to strip and terminate an electric wire?
