Power antenna problems?

Hi everyone. I have a 99 Formula and I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with my power antenna. Sometimes it will go up and down just fine. Other times, it will go up and the antenna motor will remain running, like it's still trying to go up. Once it does this the antenna won't go down by itself. I have to push it down manually. Anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks!

The antenna motor is bad. Time for a replacement. If you go with an OEM replacement, plan on forking over some cash. I bought a universal one from Autozone for a much cheaper price. It's done the job for almost five years now.
