Ford Galaxy / Ford S-MAX. Manual - part 724

Is the resistance greater than 10,000 ohms (open
circuit)?
Yes

CLEAN and TIGHTEN the ground connections at the
base of the antenna and battery negative cable to
the body. If concern the persists,

GO to B4

INSTALL a new antenna cable. TEST the system for
normal operation. If the concern persists, INSTALL
a new audio unit.
