My antenna won't go down..it'* not bent or anything....the motor sounds as if it is working ..because it comes on when i turn the awitch on and turns off when i turn the car off....it acts normall except the antenna stays up.

any help would be appreciated..thanks

Hey! Disconnect the power to the relay on the antenna ASAP!

You'll need to see if the worm gear is slipping (Which I doubt), the wire popped out of the reel (Only ever seen it happen once) or if the wire is broken (Bet that'* it).

You may just want to replace the antenna though...

I think I'll take some pics of how to rebuild a power antenna next time I rebuild mine, It'* stuck up right now too...

ok where is the relay?

The relay should be at the power antenna. You'll see a little black cube connected to the side of it.

What are things to look for on one that'* stuck down?

I might just go to a flexible, rigid mast! The less gadgets the better!!

I'd look into checking the power, and correct operation of the relay of one that is down. If those check out it'* probably dirty inside.

I pulled it up after the key was turned on (basically just gave it a nudge and it took right off). It'* been working now for the past day. What'* the best lubricant to lubricate it?

Try WD-40 its a light lubricant that works well on antennas.

Gte some Silicon or Graphie spray. Do not use WD40, that stuff gets sticky when it dries.

In a pinch, a verly light coat of Vaseline will work, too. (Don't lie!! We know you got some!!)

LOL! I plead the 5th!

I've heard that WD40 is not good to use also. I'll try some graphite.

Thanks for the replies.
