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.

AnswerIf 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.

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.
