Check for continuity at the center of each antenna wire as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:

* When measuring voltage, wrap a piece of tin foil around the tip of the negative probe and press the foil against the wire with your finger, as shown in the illustration.

There is continuity in the antenna.

If the result is not as specified, repair the window glass antenna wire.
