Title: Aerial isn't going up and down?
Post by: Anonymous on September 22, 2009, 20:50
Hey, ive been having problems with my aerial since i bought the car. Its been staying up all the while with and without the stereo on. The stereo is standard sony. I didnt realise it was meant to move until a mate said there should be a motor in that! lol So can anyone give me any idea's in how to get this lil thing to start moving again please? Many thanks  :-) :-) :-)

Does the motor make a noise near the aerial when you turn the radio on?

It could really be anything, from not being plugged into the radio, through all the electrics, fuses etc, to the shaft itself. Unfortunately I'm not sure if there is a quick fix.

Check the easy stuff like fuses first and maybe the connection to the back of the stereo as if you use a torch you can see these.

also you can check to see if you have got a live going into the control box for the aerial. this is located underneath the bin behind the drivers seat.
