• Q: How to remove the radio antenna cable on 2008 Toyota Tacoma?

  A: Start by detaching the cable connected to the negative battery terminal before removing the radio antenna cord. Start by removing the front floor footrest followed by taking off the front door scuff plates from both sides and cowl side trim boards from both sides and finally separating the front door opening trim Weather Strips from both sides. The installation process starts with taking off front pillar garnishes (LH and RH) as well as the instrument panel under tray for the pedal type parking brake alongside the instrument panel hole cover for lever type parking brake. The technician should detach both automatic and manual transmission console upper rear panel sub-assemblies from separate seat configurations alongside the rear console box assembly and instrument panel cup holder tray (for automatic transmission on separate seats) and the front console box which serves both automatic and manual transmissions on separate and bench seat configurations. First remove the air conditioner control assembly and radio receiver assembly before separate the hood lock control lever sub-assembly. Proceed by disassembling the instrument panel finish panel No. 1 and instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly and combination meter assembly along with instrument cluster center finish panel sub-assembly and glove compartment door assembly. Also remove instrument panel lower finish panel sub-assembly (RH), lower instrument panel (LH), instrument lower cover sub-assembly, instrument side panel (RH). First disconnect the passenger Air Bag connector then take out the instrument panel passenger Air Bag assembly followed by removing the instrument panel sub-assembly then lastly remove the radio antenna cord sub-assembly by disconnecting its 4 claws.
