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.

How do you get the power antenna down on a 1979 Corvette can hear a click in the back when you turn on the radio is that an antenna relay?

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.


1996 jeep grand Cherokee right hand drive antenna relay?

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.

Can the antenna on a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo go down?

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.

1987 Corvette and the power antenna don't go up or down but the antenna motor runs constantly so how do you stop the antenna motor from running other than disconnecting the battery?

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.
