[Night Wolf]

Well if its power they are know for having the mast brake , they sell all over the place just a mast kit for our cars check local parts places they may even have one in stock who knows , good luck , What I did was pulled it all the way out and disconnected the electricity to it for now it works find without going up and down ,

The mast might've broken, the motor could be toast... Any number of things.

Pop your trunk open and pull back the insulation where the antenna is. See if it makes noise when you turn the car on. If so, the motor works.

If not, get a new motor ^.^

The antenna's pretty easy to remove if you need to.

i went on ebay and bought a brand new antenna with motor and everything for like 20 bux shipped, i had to splice some wires to put it in but if your at all mechanically inclined you will be able to do so

yeah the motor works. when I turn the radio on I can hear the motor.

Mine stays up all the time. It works fine and i have no problems. So why fix something that is not broken. WEll i guess it is sort of broken but still gives me what i need

Get a replacement antenna, or a new kit.

I like motorized antennas...old school.

U can remove the system, or unplug it and get a rubber one...but naaah...

I haven't listened to the radio in my car for a good year or so...

*EDIT* You can see in my sig what's left of my antenna... MP3/WMA headunit FTW!!!!

[Half-Pint]

Your best bet is to buy a new kit...I tried just adding another antenna and it didnt work, or i did something retarded and it made the motor fubar, but anyways, new kit.

I replaced my antenna mast after it broke going through the car was and that was pretty cheap and easy to do! I got the mast off of www.hondaautomotiveparts.com It was like 20 bucks or something shipped. But then i seen this S2k antenna swap diy and said ok now and the rest is history. Bought the assem off of that same site for like 60 bucks, ripped out my old assem, shaved down the new s2k nut and installed it without power and i somehow get stations that people with stock antenna dont get and i think its because the s2k antenna has a booster built in or something but im prolly wrong but either way i dont use the radio to often since i have a headunit with mp3/wma and i have cds with up too 200songs on them so its all gravy baby!
I should be doing a DIY on the S2k swap so there will be decent pics and all for everyone..look for that this week.

EDIT- Sorry that mast off of MH is 40.91 plus shipping. Not to bad

[Night Wolf]

cool then I think Ill buy one.


thanks for the help.
