signal loss

Hello all, i recently replaced my heater core in my 99 4.6L 2wd.

Ever since i pulled the dash out and put it back in, i only get local radio stations, where as before i would get stations from areas hours and hours away. It is almost like i lost signal power. I pulled out the radio and made sure the antenna wire was plugged in properly at the back of the radio , as well as the other end that plugs into the antenna it self. They were both ok, what is my next step?

is the mast missing off your fender? I had someone jack mine once and I had no idea how long it was gone

Mast? meaning the actual antenna? if so Yes it is still there. I even purchased a new one thinking that was the problem, but nothing changed.

do you remember unplugging any antenna like connections in your dash? A lot of cars have a junction somewhere up behind the glove box or down in the kick panels.

How did the replacement go? I need to do mine soon.

That was my next question, Is the antenna cable 1 piece from the radio to the antenna? or is it 2 pieces joined at some point?
