hi guys does anyone know why I'm getting a no GPS signal on my mk4 mondeo titanium x, many thanks 

Hi @Andy138,

I believe on your year of Mondeo the GPS is in the base of the FM antenna and are well known for water ingress which runs onto the cable connector and upsets the signal. I would have a look around the base and remove the antenna to check if water has got in as a start. Then check and clean/dry out the connector at the module end as ultimately that's where the water ends up.

Cheers

Steve

No problem Andy, let us know how you get on 👍🏻

could you squirt clear silicone into the ariel to stop ingress

If it’s cracked Andy it’s more than likely shot so needs to be replaced, as I said above this common through age 

I read these have been  discontinued, do you know if there's an aftermarket arial base ???

if discontinued try Aliexpress and the like
