DO YOU HEAR ANY KIND OF NOISE WHEN HITTING THE SWITCH? HAVE YOU TRIED ANY TYPE OF LUBE? I WOULD ALSO SEE IF THERE IS POWER GOING TO THE ANTENNA WITH A LIGHT TESTER. START WITH THE SIMPLE THINGS FIRST. CHECK YOUR FUSE.
95 % of the time the nylon cord that moves the antenna up and down gets stripped. The power antenna motor is going to cost about $200.00. The antenna mast is about $40.00 which comes as part of the nylon cord. The motor that drives the antenna must bestill working. The procedure to fix takes about 15 minutes. Remove the nut that secures the antenna and slowly pull the antenna out od the socket. Take the new antenna with the nylon leadand feed it into the socket hole. You can then secure the antenna in place with the holding nut.
I don't believe there is a relay. When you turn on the power to your radio the antenna should go up and down when you turn off the power. If the antenna is not doing just that, then the antenna motor is bad.
there is a cable inside the housing. that cable must have snapped (common) i would replace entire antenna, with either new power or save about $80 and put a mast style in
Chances are that, unless you have a high end stereo system in your Jeep with electric antenna, you probably have a fixed post antenna that will not retract. This can be replaced with an aftermarket antenna that can go down but my experience is that the sheet metal that the antenna is mounted to is at such a severe angle that every aftermarket mounting kit that I found will not allow the antenna to stand properly vertical. You might try the dealer if its important enough. I believe they got away from the older style retractable antennas because they just don't last.....especially if you go down a trail that has branches that will catch the mast.
All stations are fed into the radio by the antenna. The IF filters narrow the bandwidth down to the size of just one channel
There is a plug on the front of the fuse panel that you can disconnect. It should be labeled and I believe it's an orange wire.

The unit seems to be broken, it's just a nylon cord that forces the antenna up, then it pulls the ant. down once the signal is lost. The nylon cord came a loose from the tip of the antenna, which is not repairable. By a new one.
Probably broken plastic wire inside that makes it go up and down. Had the same problem and took apart and ordered new mast.
Replace the power antenna assembly.
Most likely if your antenna will not come up on your 1986 Corvette, it is probably due to a technically issue , such as the stereo is wired wrong. Or it could just be that it is stuck down from sticky goo. It could also just be broke in general.
unplug the electrical from the antenna. replace antenna.
sound like a wire problum or u need to replace tha power antanna unit

Select the CD option on the radio, will CD is playing hold down the RDS buttom until the antenna goes down.
Try finding the power cord that goes into the antenna and disconnect it
The up and down is controlled by the radio itself.
