OEM 2015 Ford Escape Focus Shark Fin Roof Antenna Base Mast FM5T19G461AA

Symptoms of a bad roof antenna module and how to tell if yours is failing. If your signal says GPS fault or your satellite radio is stuck on acquiring signal, or your AM/FM reception totally cuts out, pay attention. The antenna on your roof is not just a piece of plastic. It contains a sensitive electronic circuit board handling your GPS and radio data. If you drive a 2013 to 2018 escape, fusion, focus, you are way too familiar with these exact symptoms. So what causes it? The rubber seal around the bottom of the antenna dries out and that allows rainwater and moisture to get in. It ends up seeping into the internal electronics. The circuit board corrodes turning green and it shorts out. Believe it or not, it can actually cause a parasitic battery drain that will kill your battery overnight. Do not replace an expensive head unit when it's just a dead roof antenna. Drop your make, model, year in the comments, shoot me your vin. Head on over to hubesub.com, check out our Fitment tool.
