Default Another antennae question

When I shut the radio off the antennae goes down when IT decides, could be an hour or it could be two days, WHY?

Does the antenna motor run the whole time? If so, sounds like you're missing teeth off of the antenna ribbon - time to get a replacement mast from MAD (or wherever you can find one). :)

There isn't a peep out of the motor until it decides to move and then functions properly!

Try cleaning the points in the relay.

I couldnt tell your were it is on your car. On my coupe it's under trim, beside hatch latch.
I mentioned this because my bose stereo acted the same way. I cleaned the contacts and have never had a problem since.
Someone with a G.M. manual for your year and model should be able to answer the location.
:cheers:

Well I broke out the manuals for the second time since I bought the vette and now I can look for it on the weekend. The cargo compartment, above rear of wheelhouse. I'd like to thank you for the hints, as I'm a new member to the forum but it has been invaluable to me as a source of information and advice. I had been reading this site for at least 14 months but I just enjoy driving the vette that I didn't much care if the stupid antennae went down or not, iI always let it decide (no choice)! They are a real blast to drive!
