SCHEMATIC CHART

Measure resistance between antenna terminal and each antenna wire.

If an antenna wire is OK, resistance will be Less than 1 ohm. If an antenna wire is broken, resistance will be More than 1 Mohm.

Note. When checking the continuity, wind a piece of aluminum foil around the tip of tester probe, and then press the aluminum foil against wire with your finger.

Scheme 6: REPAIR
  1. Clean antenna wire and the surrounding area with a cloth dampened by alcohol.
  2. Paste a thin masking film (B) on glass along the broken wire.
  3. Deposit heat wire repair agent (C) (DUPONT NO. 4817) on the broken portion (A) with a drawing pen.
  4. Dry out the heat wire repair agent portion.
  5. After repair has been completed, measure resistance in the repaired wire.
