Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a bad antenna module connector cause radio failure on Ford?
A: Yes. An open circuit at the 3148-01-004 connector interrupts the antenna amplifier power or signal feed, causing poor or no radio reception. This is a common fault on Ford Focus and Mondeo – inspect the connector before replacing the antenna module or head unit.
Q: What crimping tool is needed?
A: Use a precision micro-crimper rated for 0.3mm² (22 AWG) – Engineer PA-09 or TE Connectivity 91516-1.
