2007 Toyota Tacoma Antenna Cable Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the radio antenna cable on 2007 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: Service of the radio antenna cable begins with disconnecting it from the negative terminal of the battery. The service procedure requires removal of the front floor footrest along with front door scuff plates (LH and RH), cowl side trim boards (LH and RH) and separation of front door opening trim Weather Strips (LH and RH). Service on the radio antenna requires removal of the front pillar garnishes (LH and RH) as well as the instrument panel under tray (for pedal type parking brake), the instrument panel hole cover (for lever type parking brake), and the console upper rear panel subassembly (for both automatic and manual transmissions on separate seat types). The instrument panel cup holder tray (for automatic transmission on separate seat type), rear console box assembly (for separate seat type), front console boxes (for both automatic and manual transmissions on bench and separate seat types) must be removed. The installer should remove in this order the air conditioner control assembly, radio receiver assembly, hood lock control lever subassembly, No. 1 lower instrument panel finish panel, instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly, combination meter assembly, instrument cluster center finish panel sub-assembly, glove compartment door assembly, instrument panel lower finish panel sub-assembly (RH), lower instrument panel (LH), instrument lower cover subassembly, and instrument side panel (RH). After disconnecting the passenger Air Bag connector you should take out both the instrument panel passenger Air Bag assembly along with the instrument panel sub-assembly. The installation of the radio antenna cord sub-assembly requires users to disengage its 4 claws before extraction. The installation process requires engagement of the 4 claws for radio antenna cord sub-assembly before the instrument panel sub-assembly and passenger Air Bag assembly with their final step being passenger Air Bag connector reconnection. The installation process requires the instrument side panel (RH) followed by the instrument lower cover subassembly then the lower instrument panel (LH) with the instrument panel lower finish panel sub-assembly (RH) after which the glove compartment door assembly goes in followed by the center instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly and combination meter assembly then the instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly before the No. 1 lower instrument panel finish panel gets installed. Reinstall the hood lock control lever subassembly together with radio receiver assembly and air conditioning control assembly followed by front console boxes for both manual and automatic transmissions of bench and separate seat vehicles. The installer should position the instrument panel cup holder tray for automatic transmission on separate seat type followed by the rear console box assembly for separate seat type and the console upper rear panel subassemblies for both manual and automatic transmissions on separate seat types. Reposition the instrument panel hole cover (if you have lever parking brake) followed by the instrument panel under tray (if you have pedal braking) and front pillar garnishes (for both sides) before installing both front door opening trim Weather Strips and cowl side trim boards (positioned on both sides) as well as front door scuff plates (applied to each side). Finish by reconnecting the battery cable to the negative terminal and tighten it to 3.9 N.m (40 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf).
