    stupid ? about power antennea

    Is there a fix for a power antennea unit that continues to run even after the car is shut off and it won't retract but motor keeps running unless I unplug?

    Likely a broken drive belt.

    Replace drive belt.

    Good Luck!

        throw it away and get satellite radio. Put an e36 318i antenna with a stubby top in it's place. reduce the amount of electric gizmos that fail on the car every chance you can.

          what about an antenna that only goes up some times? power is going to it, but it just doesnt always like to go up...

              I just replaced my drive belt with a $3 part from McMaster-Carr. See here for more details: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=155610

              But FWIW, with the belt broken, the motor would only run for a little while after the radio was turned on or shut off. I did not need to unplug it.

                Your mast was at the end of the travel, his might not be.
