Default Replacing GPS antenna

Recently the GPS in my 2012 FX4 stopped working, as I'm getting the "No GPS" icon on the map. I have tried doing a master reset, and also tried disconnecting the battery, and neither has fixed the issue. So I'm thinking my next step will be to try replacing the GPS antenna, but I'm having a hard time finding any information about how to do this. I also can't seem to locate the part online, so I guess I'll have to get one through my dealer, but I don't want to have them install it. Does anyone have any info about how one would go about replacing the GPS antenna? Or anything else I might try to fix the problem?

It didn't help in my case, but worth a try.

Not if you ask me. It resets all sorts of stuff that is a pain to put back.

DL3T-19H464-BB, or DL3T-19H464-BC which is a later revision I believe.

You simply remove the dash tray by taking out the rubber mat and remove the two screws holding the tray in. The GPSM module is attached to a clip on the left hand side of the opening.

Perfect, thanks.

Can someone post a wiring diagram for this? I'm trying to figure out what the GPSM wires to. I need to remove it from a 2017 XLT. After the Sync Connect retrofit and the Sync 3 retrofit there is now a conflict with GPS time in Sync 3 and the compass in the IPC is repeatedly skipping between North and South. I suspect the GPSM is causing messaging conflicts in the gateway module.
