Help - Power Antenna quit working! The power antenna on my '98 Formula quit working. It makes awful noises each time I turn the radio on and off but the antenna doesn't move.
Questions: (1) What "most likely" is wrong? (2) Can it be repaired with a new part or 2? (3) or will the unit have to be replaced?
I suspect this is a dealer-only part so it will be expensive to replace. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: Help - Power Antenna quit working! check and see if it maybe is bent and can't come out. It may have hit something while you had it up. Mine did this and made the awful noises and I had to replace the whole unit. I think it was about $100 from the dealer but it's been over 2 years so I can't really remember.

Re: Help - Power Antenna quit working! The acutally plastic cable inside the mast may be stripped out. If so you should be able to replace just the mast, if the motor is still good. When you check on this call more than one place so you don't get suckered by someone that just wants to make the extra money off of replacing the whole unit.
