Andy138 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 hi guys does anyone know why I'm getting a no GPS signal on my mk4 mondeo titanium x, many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilo82 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimpster Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 could you squirt clear silicone into the ariel to stop ingress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
