Power antenna - fuse?

[B's R33 GTS25T]

Hi everyone,

Is there a fuse for only the power antenna. Mine is broken and makes a god awful sound every time I turn the car off, for about 30 seconds. If anyone can tell me where the fuse is, I can disconnect and all will be great.

Cheers

Brendon.

I think its powered off the acessories line, and there is no fuse. Disconnect the trigger off from the back of the head unit, or from the back of the antenna motor itself.

Thing is I am finding it really hard to get to the antenna, as it is behind the inside of the boot lining. Is there an easier way of getting to it.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds more like the white nylon thingy that extends and retracks the antenna is broken. Mine went a while ago and you're right the motor for the antenna is a mongrel to get to. I think that you could probaly replace the nylon thing but I haven't woprked out how to do so yet, maybe someone else could help out? I ended up disconnecting the motor until I can fix or replace it.

once you get to the motor pull the whole thing out and pull it apart. you will see the broken cable in there- remove it. and put the motor back together and put it back in place. LEAVE THE TOP SCREW OFF!

from there its a case of turning on the radio and letting the motor go all the way up. then feeding the antenna cable back into the motor and turning off the radio. should reload easily. from there screw the top nut on and you are done.

I think the antenna mast is the same as a magna one so a trip to the local shop ( or me if you want to mail order one) will do the trick.
