Default Antenna Stays Down

Hi my antenna on my T/A is stuck down. I can pull it up with pliers and when I try to pull it all the way up it pulls itself down. It doesn't slip or anything because it does pull itself down and quite good but it's like it doesnt try to pull it up at all.

I have an aftermarket cd player installed. Could that be it?

Many aftermarket headunits only raise the antenna when you are using FM. Otherwise the Antenna stays down.

Otherwise, make sure the pink wire on the stock harness is connected to the antenna raise/control wire on the aftermarket radio harness.

if your power antenna isnt working, its the plasic piece inside of it is busted, if not, it only goes up when u have the radio on, stays down when cd is on
