CB antenna cable

Hoop98 · 12-08-2007, 07:53 AM

My 2006 Journey 39K has a CB antenna on the roof but no CB was installed in the unit. Does anyone know where the end of cable may be located under the dash?

thanks for any input

Hoop98,

Welcome to the Winnie forum.

Assuming your CB antenna is above the driver's seat, the cable comes down the post on the left of the windshield. The factory wraps the coax connector and the -12v DC wiring in plastic and sticks it behind the dash somewhere on the left of the steering wheel. You'll need to be double-jointed and use a light to find it.

It's there somewhere.

Ah, my favorite topic!

Since at least 2001 they have had a chap on the production line that has the job of hiding this and he is very good at it. In my 2008 they quit the antenna but, alledgedly, have the power wires hidden there and marked. Have yet to find them. There have been a zillion posts about this yet Winnie won't put the darn thing where they can be found (and it would cost them nothing to do so).

Other than that, I love Winnie! Good luck on your serach! And welcome here...lot of great folks that post here. Steve

He must have been feeling nice the day he wrapped mine. The bag was tucked nicely under the left side foot rest block.

Since I weigh 330lbs and have bad knees, I am not agile enough to use the drivers door.

But it sure worked very well to find the CB harness and install the CB. Standing on the ground sure beat being a contortionist...

Good Miles.

Yeah, that works for those of us who have a driver's door. The DP guys have a problem.

well, after much huffing and puffing i found the baggie with wires. i also am 6'2" and two hundred and too many pounds and i don't think contortionist is the correct term. I guess the factory guy was having a bad day on my coach also as it was buried behind that massive wiring harness on the left side of wheel. but got the CB installed and all works.

thanks to all who helped with this.

I heard that! I had forgotten about how easy it was to get under the dash with the door. I'm skinny enuf to get under there now but it takes me awhile to straighten out once I stand up again.. Sometimes days..

The Itasca had a door, the 35J doesn't and I miss it especially for this reason. My solution is to send my daughter. She can't find it either

I found our cb wires by finding the antenna wire that comes down in the corner from the roof first! I was then able to pull on that and get the rest of it including the bag and power wire with it to come out into view. The antenna wire is the thickest individual wire you will see under there and is easy to find, it's the end of it that is well hidden. Good Luck!

That guy is good, I'm still looking in my 07 sunrise 35L. I found the wires that go to a brake controler. I not going to use it for a CB but I would like to use it to power my 2m rig.

i just happened to see a bit of the "bag" behind the wiring harness. it was on floor down low. it really is a bag, just a baggie that was pulled tight and taped shut. look for a baggie glimsp rather whole thing.
