probably fubared the coax from the antenna to the unit. I had to replace coax on three zs nissan used coax with the center conductor being the diameter of frog hair. Doesn't take much for some meathead to mess it up. PO probably somewhere in the moron class for doing anything electrical.

order one on online about twenty feet will work.

pretty sure that one work. just run it inside from radio to antenna and see if that solves your problem. if so then you can run it neatly under the carpet.

ok i seen this wire, i took off the interior back panel to access the motor for it and that was unplugged,i re plugged it in then took out the radio and seen that same connector but just the female end of it unplugged. i dont know where that plugs into (assuming the old radio maybe)but it seems they redid the antenna wire cause obv the radio is getting single just shitty reception. i only discovered this today. so is that wire the same issue or is it somthing els now?

electricity 101 you need a wire to connect two separate units. In this case a coaxial cable one end standard coax connector other end automotive push on style connector. so it they are disconnected yes you will get sh*tty reception.
