OK, here's what I got:

Nothing to specific, sorry, but it gives you the general area.
Now for the antenna thingee...I'm not sure if this will work, but I'll read you what the book says and maybe we can figure out a way to make it work:
From the book:
The Dodge Intrepid version of the LH Sedans features a fixed mast antenna on the rear of the vehicle. All other LH Sedans incorporate an antenna built into the rear of the window defogger. A rear window defogger/antenna module isolates the FR signal used by the radio from the electrical current used to defrost the rear window.
The rear window defogger relay output is fed through the module to the
defogger grid lines in the rear window. The rear window defogger/antenna modeule is turned on and operated by a 12-volt signal from the radio. When the radio is ON, it sends a 12-volt output to the rear window defogger/antenna module. (
See this Pic) This output is similar to a radio power antenna output that lifts the power antenna when the radio is turned ON. The module is case grounded. A coaxial cable from the module provides the AM and FM tuners their RF input.
The top three lines are unheated and are used to receive AM signals. The remainder of the grids are heated and are also used to receive FM signals.
So........., if we reroute the antenna and window defogger wiring through this module; in theory it should use our rear defroster as an antenna negating the use for the big ole ugly mast antenna. What do you think?
Here's diagram involving the module in the link above:
Antenna/Defogger Schematic See this Pic
It seems that it uses the actual grid that is used to heat the window to receive radio transmissions. With this module, it should work the same for us. The only thing is we have to seperate the AM and FM grids. Other then that, it doesn't look too hard. And if you think about it, we have a rear window that is 3 times the size of any other LH car. Better reception? AND we can loose the lame antenna!
