New Antenna Question

Over the weekend I put a new factory GM antenna mast on my Olds. I followed the directions that came with it, but the damn thing won't retract fully when I turn the power off. Anybody have any pointers on this?

It's getting power all right. You can hear the mechanism run. It just stops going down, the thing runs for a couple of seconds, that's it.

 

I'm wondering if I got some pieces in the drive somewhere inside that are blocking the new plastic drive cable from going all the way down.

More than likely. Mine only goes down half way.. apparently there is some junk that falls around in there.
