1992 cutlass ciera radio antenna whirrs and bobs up and down after the engine is turned off The battery will run down unless I unplug the battery How do I fix this?
Try turning the radio off before turning the car off. If this doesn't work, check the assembly at the base of the antenna for a sensor switch for gunk and clean it off. Don't ask me where it is, because I don't have the schematics for the antenna assembly on a 1992 Cutlass Ciera handy at this moment.
If this doesn't work, the easiest "fix" is to wait until the antenna goes all the way up, then clip the power lead to the antenna motor. Just make sure you don't clip the antenna lead. This will keep the antenna up all the time.
Next cheapest route is to replace the whole antenna assembly, motor and all. I would recommend getting a cheap $5 standard antenna from a local auto parts store and do away with the "convenience" of the automatic retractable antenna.

1993 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme power antenna will not turn off or go down?
First physical pull the antenna all the way up, clean the antenna very good with a degreaser, then lubricate it with a silicon spray. Open the trunk, unplug the power to the antenna, start your car with the radio turned on, stop the engine, plug the power source to antenna back in. Try it now, if you still have the same problem, either the relay is stuck and needs replacing or the antenna motor is shorted and needs to be replaced.

How do you replace a 1994 Oldsmobile cutlass battery?
To replace the battery in a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and the keys are removed. Open the hood and locate the battery; disconnect the negative terminal first (usually marked with a minus sign) to prevent any electrical shorts, followed by the positive terminal. Remove any securing bracket or strap and carefully lift out the old battery. Place the new battery in the same position, reconnect the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal, and secure it with the bracket.
