    Satelite Radio - Short in Antenna???

    I'm getting a fault code for a short in the Satelite radio antenna. Has anyone experianced this same fault, and if so, was there a fix? I dont think the unit utilizes the roof antenna, but not sure....

    Thanks,

    Shawnski

    Certainly it could be a short and I guess it could be anywhere the signal path goes

    The Satellite antenna is under the shark fin on the roof.
    You may have a faulty Satellite Module. These are all starting to fail now. I just replaced mine with a unit from eBay from I believe a 2013 model, and everything worked again.
