Default Antenna Fix

Was only a matter of time I guess but my antenna finally stop working. I hear the motor running but the mast goes up about 4 inches and that's it. Sometimes it goes up ZERO inches.

I looked for th e"STICKY" on this subject but could not find it. Can anyone advise me? I'd rather change out an optispark than have to deal with this.

Default Replacement Procedure

Is there any "procedure" here for getting to the antenna motor? I read that there is a sticky but can't find any references to antenna replacements.

My motor runs fine but the mast will not extend. If I pull the antenna all the way out, it stays there. If I push it down and turn on the radio, it will push up about 6 inches and stop.

Is this the ribbon I read about? Maybe if I put in a kit it will be ok? My first issue is getting to the thing. It looks like it's burried in the structure of the car.

Any advice would be appreciated....

Billy
