Pass side kick panel spring loaded joint remove kick panel can't miss it pull the spring out and put it back together happened to my xj and zj

Did you replace the Arial(mast) or the compete antena? Antena would have required fishing a wire from the fender to the kick panel or radio.

ptonjeep

um just the arial mast. didnt realize it was called that lol

Try the connection fix mentioned above, inside the passenger kick panel and make sure the antena wire is plugged in at the radio also. If that doesn;t help you will need to replace the part that the Mast screwed into or the Radio itself is the problem.

No problem I had to pull the spring out on my zj and xj when I first got them cause neither had reception

ptonjeep

BatmansZJ

Did you pull the spring out if you pull it out then put it together and tape it I have had no problem with either jeep and that how I did mine
