'95 Civic DX - cut antenna cable

[bottad]

I got a new car stereo for my car a while back and got lucky enough to have my car broken into and have it stolen. I think that when the thief took the stereo out they cut the antenna cable because I can't see it anywhere in there. Does anyone know how I could locate the cable to check if it actually was cut? Also, if it is cut do I need to replace the whole cable?

Thanks!

It should be the thickest wire behind there (a black wire). If it's cut you should be able to fit a new end on it (plug), as long as it wasn't cut too short. If it is too short then you'll need a new one, and they are a bitch to replace.

Replacing isn't all that bad. Before you pull the old one out, which requires you to remove the antenna from the exterior of the car, tape a piece of string or 18 awg or smaller wire to the end of the cable. When you pull the antenna wire through the dash and the column, you will have the string to pull the new cable back through with ease.
