The antenna relay unplugged stops the intermittent amp draw,so I went and bought a new one but it still has the draw.with the trunk open I can hear the relay energize when I see the amp draw, so I thought maybe the RAP relay was supplying power to it ,but I unplugged all of them still pulsed.The antenna itself does not try to move when the relay energizes,and the antenna works normally with the acc and ignition on,it goes up and down but sometimes this stops the draw then I can cycle it again and it comes back.Does anyone know where it picks its power from,just the maxi fuse?I am thinking maybe the antenna doesn't know its all the way down and tries to activate bad motor?.One last thing does the relay center behind the glove box swing down,its very hard to get to, and the small fuses under it I can't find what they do,all I have is a Chiltons wire diagram it doesn't even show the power antenna. Thanks Dennis

Something is telling your antenna to activate. Check for 12v at I think is either the orange or green wire. This is the remote wire from the HU. If the radio is off, you should not see 12v at this wire.
