The antenna has a limit switch, and runs until it senses up or down usually there is a toothed nylon belt or cable, and a chrome mast. The unit is bad, unplug it. You cant just unplug a fuse because it also runs your lighter (the small bunch of wires) you may be able to pull it up by hand, or just replace the mast. Aftermarket is ok, but not an exact fit./ Consider a manual ant, or pay the dealer 100+$$, It is difficult to remove the top nut, let it soak with penetrating oil for a few adys, as the pot metal corrodes.

Answer
If the radio works fine with the antenna the way it is. Just remove the smaller wires that power the motor. This will prevent the motor from burning out. Good luck.Related Questions

How do you replace the electric antenna mast on a 1990 Honda Accord EX?
Remove the nut, spacer and bushing that holds down the antenna
on the outside car body. Then turn the radio ON. As the antenna
extends out, carefully pull out the antenna mast. There will be a
plastic portion with teeth at the end. Remember the direction of
teeth. When you install the new antenna, the teeth will go in that
direction. Insert the new antenna into the antenna housing. Make
sure the antenna teeth engages the antenna motor by moving the
antenna up & down. Turn the radio OFF and the antenna motor
will pull the antenna back in. Reinstall the nut, spacer, bushing
and you're done.

How do you replace an electric antenna on a 2000 Montero Sport?
You have to remove the front right tire, and go up through the
inside of the fender. A lot of work just to remove an antenna! I
just did this on my 1999 Montero Sport. Once you remove the back of
the fender, you just remove a few nuts from the antenna mount,
unplug the power supply, unplug the antenna from the radio and pull
the antenna cable out. You can save some time with a short screw
driver and don't remove the tire, just the bottom of the fender
(and flares). For mounting purposes is best if you use the original
part. Before you remove the cable from the inside (if the antenna
is not good) cut the cable and use it to pull the new antenna's
one. Trust me the hardest part is getting that cable in. Need lots
of patience and about 2 hours.. Check out this site for step by
step instructions....with pictures....to replace your electric
antenna..... http://www.monterosportonline.com/diy-ext6.html
