1985 Radio motor won’t stop
Wondering what’s the best/easiest way to disable my radio motor from activating?
After I turn the car off and park, I hear it going on and on. Still going even as I type this
the reason it’s going forever is because it’s trying to retract the non-existent power antennae- but it won’t ever finish obviously.
what can I do?

Years ago my 84 did the same thing when I stopped in a parking lot. I cut a wire going to the motor and I never fixed it. It's a "one of these days" kinda projects. I cut that wire around 20 years ago 🤣

Open the hatch and remove the trim that surrounds the roof stowage latch. There is a relay with 6 wires, usually with a white case. Unplug the connection with the gray, green, and I think white wires. These are to the antenna.
You can also remove the CTSY fuse, but a lot of other stuff stops working as well as the antenna. However, removing the fuse will stop the motor until you have time to unplug the relay.
