Title: Auto Antenna Relay
Post by: Anonymous on February 24, 2009, 16:06
Hello I've seen from the manual that there is an 'Auto Antenna'  & another 'Antenna' Relay, that seems to be behind the storage bins (or under).

Does anyone know their specific position?
I dont want to remove the plastic bins if not sure that I I'll find what I'm looking for underneath them.

I want to remove the autoRaise Antenna when I turn on the radio and I believe removing one of these relays will solve my problem.

I have a photo with the wiring diagram if that helps (so I can upload).

IIRC when I took my electric aerial out it plugged into a black box stuck in the front RHD corner of the drivers side bin. In fact very close to the carpet. That might be it.

I would suggest you could get away by taking out just that bin and you should find what you are looking for.

If you have the sony unit you can stop the antenna raising by turning off the AF/TA option.

Ok thanks.
I've removed the RH bin and found that box.
This is it! I thaught it was a fuse or something, but it's a 'brown' box.

No motor sounds now and antena is perm down!! I hope nothing else is missing but I guess I"ll find out that soon!!!

Now i've taken it of, I can easy take a snapshot if anyone wants to remove that as well.

I have the Stock 03 one and that trick did not work for me.

If you unclip the plastic wheel arch liner you can unplug motor there if thats easier.
