Radio Antenna
Does anyone know off hand what fuse the radio antenna is on?
Mine's stuck in the up position. When I turn the radio off, the antenna won't go down, and there's no audible attempt by the motor to try to lower the antenna either. Thx. VK

Check fuse #22 (according to the FSM diagram)

Re: Re: Radio Antenna
Thx. I got that from the manual as well, but I'm still scratching my head that according to the owner's manual, I think that's one of the cooling fans as well?

just do what i do when something blows...pull off the pannel, get a fuse puller, and a light, go through them all. sure it may not be the most efficent way of going about it, but it works 100%, and you may find something that's gone that you wouldn't notice

My logic: check fuse = 1/10 difficulty, removing panel in trunk = 2/10 difficulty. 1/10 doable, 2/10 I'll leave the antenna up.
I thought I would check the obvious first. If fuse 22's OK, the panel's coming off when I do the rear speakers and the RR ABS sensor and maybe the rollover valve and maybe the fuel gauge sending unit. Lots of things to fix before the meet. VK Lafayette or Bust! Quote:

Hmm... Some of the older power antennae had a low rated inline fuse in a holder near the motor.
That would even make sense to protect the cooling fan.

Does anyone know what I'm supposed to see checking the voltage to the antenna motor?
I took the panel out yesterday, and checked the 3 wire connector. I'm getting a constant 12V from one wire to ground, and the other wire to ground I'm getting 12V when the radio's turned on. I *think* this means my antenna motor has given me a letter of resignation? VK

You have isolated the trouble to the antenna as a unit but it need not be a shot motor. There is usually a relay which reverses the motor for up and down motion and also limit switch contacts which sense fully up or down positions. Several different setups are common and I do not know which the SVX unit incorporates. Remove from car and follow your nose. It will probably be fixable.

I don't think it has a limit switch since you can usually hear the motor continue to run after the antenna has stopped, but you're probably right in assuming that it could be fixed, at least temporarily. At this point, it sounds like there's little to lose from trying.
