My antenna is stuck in the up position. The motor works, it's the ribbon that is the issue. I need to kill the power to the antenna till I can get a new mast. What is the best way to kill the power to the antenna?

Any recommendations on a fixed low profile or a hidden antenna options?

IP Fuse #37 I believe (LH CTSY) should disable the antenna.

You sir are correct. I pulled the fuse and turned the ignition on and off several times and the antenna is dead. Now I have time to research my antenna options to see which rout I want to go.

I would just go for a new mast but the price range is all over the map. Anywhere from $9 to $85. I'm kinda iffy on the low dollar antenna because I seem to think its going to be either a very thin metal that will bend easily or pour chrome finish that will flake maybe even a cheap nylon ribbon that will brake or strip in a short period of time.

I wouldn't mind a short rubber antenna or one of those amplified antennas that go behind the window pillar.

Well that didn't work as planned. Pulling that fuse also killed my speakers. The creeks squeaks and road noise is unbearable. Guess I will have to figure out how to get to the motor and unplug the power from there.

I thought you might be more interested in "shutting it down" QUICKLY rather than the alternatives.

I've never done a '94 but I believe there will be 2 connectors plugged into the rear of the BOSE/Antenna relay in the storage compartment. You can unplug the antenna from that relay I'd think and retain the Bose function.

RH storage compartment either taped to the body harness or maybe attached but easily spotted.

I kinda thought someone might have confirmed this later in the evening after I mentioned the "FUSE" removal.

When I bought my Vette last October it had the antenna stuck in the up position, I could push it down and it would come back up when I turned on the radio and stay up, I found a new OEM delco on ebay for 100 bucks and that solve the antenna issue for me.

Just pull the relay under the back trim by the latch.

You have I think a '94 and you've had your "HANDS ON" this relay?

Further research has lead me to a two wire connector, orange and pink wire under the glove box tray. I know the pink wire supplies the power to the antenna but not sure what the orange wire feeds. I'll disconnect that connector tomorrow then put the fuse back in. I suspect the orange wire will be for my rear interior lights.

Following up from my post #5

What are you trying to accomplish now?

I do believe that at the Bose relay in the RH storage compartment there will be a connector that will detach leaving the Bose working and disabling the antenna. Try ORANGE - WHITE

What are you calling "GLOVE BOX TRAY" - RH Storage compartment?

This isn't from a '94 FSM but should be very similar to your car:




Pay NO ATTENTION TO THE COMMENT TO "Antfarmer2" - there's no relay where he mentions in the '94.
