Default Antenna don't go up

I have a 1993 C4 and the power antenna do not go up and I don't hear anything from the antenna motor. Could this be the antenna relay or is this the need to replace the antenna. If this is the relay where is it located.

Depends on whether you have a coupe or a convertible. This is mine:

So where is the relay located in a 93 convertible?

I'll bet it 'don't go down', either.
Maybe this link will help (?):

I shot these after I had removed the relay when I was fixing to vacuum out the rear area for the first time.

The relays on the drivers side of the rear area but this shows exactly where the wires are that plug into the relay.

You checked the fuses first, right?

All fuses are good. Radio and all speakers work. Antenna does not move up or down when radio is turned on.

I bought a brand new Delco electric antenna that I am going to replace the old one with. Hopefully this will do the trick.

I just don't want to be tearing up the rear compartment area of my convertible looking for wires and and the antenna relay. Thats why I was asking for pictures of the location of where the antenna wires are and as well as the entenna relay location.

As you can tell from the pics I posted its easy to get to. Just peel the carpet back in that corner and you will see it. Well with a flashlight you will see it

Glad to help. I knew the pics were hard to find of the convertible from when I tried finding pics for myself. So I figured Id shoot some when I was doing the cleanup on my car in case someone else needed them.

Do you know where the antenna Relay is located? Or...is it built into the antenna itself.

In the Coupe pictures there is a Relay near the rear hatch. Where is that Relay located in the convertible? Or is there one?

Yep that's what the pictures are showing. The relay plugs into those wires. I had removed the relay already.
