Default Antenna question
Ever see a mast that won't retract even completely removed from the housing? Motor runs and runs, mast doesn't move. What's the repair here? Replace? Get parts? Thanks

Ok so playing with it more I answered one question. I've got it retracted. I'd imagine that broken wire is the issue

I was fortunate enough my gonebutnotforgotten ‘96 LT4 didn’t have the antenna issue, but I’d seen plenty BITD.

Here’s a pretty good repair article…

Also grime gets in makes it harder to retract.
