Equinox GPS antenna fault

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with my 2018 Chevy Equinox (gas engine). The nav system is throwing an error, and I'm getting zero GPS reception. Error memory shows a GPS antenna fault. I'm guessing the GPS antenna is the culprit. Anyone else run into this?

A 2018 Chevy Equinox is experiencing a GPS antenna fault, resulting in zero GPS reception and a navigation system error. The issue is likely due to a malfunctioning GPS antenna, commonly located on the roof near the back of the vehicle. A similar problem was resolved by replacing the antenna, suggesting that professional inspection and repair might be necessary.

Yeah, I had the same thing happen on my Equinox. Sounds like a dead antenna to me. Have you tried anything to troubleshoot it?

Not really, beyond checking the error codes. Where is the antenna located, and is it a pain to get to? Also, do you remember what the error was?

The antenna is usually on the roof, near the back. As for the error, can't remember the exact code. I just took it to the shop since I didn't want to mess with the headliner. It was indeed the antenna.

Thanks for the info! I'll probably do the same and get it checked out. Estimate is around 200€.
