Default Power Antenna

The motor runs but the mast does not go up or down. How hard is this to fix? Thanks for any advice.

Corvette Power Antenna Repair Kit, ACDelco, 1988-1992


Saves Price Of New Antenna
For Use On Factory Harada Antenna
Easy Installation
Used On Antenna P/N 28477 & A9984
If the antenna motor is still working, this kit will repair your antenna 99% of the time. Usually, the plastic flexible extension cable snaps, which obviously makes your antenna inoperative. This kit includes a new cable attached to the mast. Note: During the years 1988-92, GM used both Harada & ACDelco antennas. Harada antennas can be identified by a rubberized sheath around the motor; ACDelco's are without a sheath

Or Do like I did.
Mine was broken in the up direction.
I pulled it apart cut the plastic piece off so I could push it down.
Put it all back together,My radio works fine recieving stations and my antenna is always down.I can pull it up by hand if I want to also.
i may fix it one day when I get the money.
BTW mine was a 95 and glued together not bolted,I kinda screwed it up when taking it apart.

you can always pull the relay for it.
1. turn off the car
2. remove the rear deck plastic where the hatch latch is.
3. fish out the relay from among the foam insulation.
4. disconnect.
THEN
5. twist the antenna in a downward motion. It should release, and go in.
6. If you want to remove the antenna, remove the two left tail lights, and work through the tail light holes. put a thin flourescent lght up through the bottom, and wedge it in so you can see what you're doing.
7. you might have to cut the power wire for the antenna, but the ground wire is bolted on.
when u cut it, get it close to the antenna, like 5 inches, no more. If you replace the antenna, you will have extra wire to work with.
