Do you still hear the motor working? If so then you can just replace the mast: Antenna Mast Replacement. .

If the motor isn't working then it still may work. It could be that there's a wiring problem such as a bad ground, etc.

Yea I have never had them work for too long, going to pull min out and buy a cheesey rubber one or something. Not worth the $74.00 for a new power antenna.

You have to put a relay in to switch the ground, then it will go up and down when it needs to.
