In a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass, the antenna relay is typically located in the vehicle's fuse box, which is usually found under the dashboard on the driver's side. The relay may also be mounted near the antenna itself, depending on the specific model and configuration. For precise identification, it's best to consult the vehicle's service manual for the exact location and diagram.
in the dash panel
The relay is located on the bottom area of the antenna itself. Most of the time the motors burn out, or the gear inside the motor strips out. If that's the case, replacing the whole assembly is the easiest fix.
Mounted to a relay thats screwd in to the plastic glovebox. just open it unscrew the screws and take it out and you will see the relay attatched to the glovebox.
The antenna relay is on the power antenna itself(in the trunk.) a wire goes from the radio harness to tell the antenna there is power to the stereo and then the antenna goes up when it gets that signal(just by the 12volts going to the relay.)

There is no relay. The solonoid is on the starter.
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.
