Radio Antenna

Radio Antenna
Well, I was doing some stuff behind the radio today and to make a long story short, the tip of the AM/FM antenna that plugs into the radio broke off. Tried to use some electrical tape to get it back on and that failed. The thing was pretty rusty anyways, how it got rusted I don't know but how am I to fix this. As of right now I have no am or fm. Would I just buy the new wiring and then run that from the antenna to the radio, or can i just a new connector piece? Any help would be appeciated.

I had to buy a new antenna cable, mine did the same thing, corroded off.. it wasnt that fun running a new one because it is way up there behind the dash.. I got mine from www.ford-parts.com - cheaper than the dealer prices by like $10

you'll need to take out the glove box, then take off the actual antenna mast and there is a grommet that keeps the cable secure and runs through a small hole which runs into the dash, you can see where it goes when you take the glove box out.. do the reverse of how that was ran, try your best to follow it anyways, as I had to kinda re-route mine a different way.
