godofthunder Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 ok...just put the new one in. I had to take it apart, and ended up taking the whole ting apart, including the small motor on the top. while everything works now, it seems like there is a short somewhere. If i plug the antena in, or the little metal ribbon, the motor starts running like a banchee. And ideas? jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Why did you have to take it completely apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Same thing happened to mine. Was the cord from the antenna to long? Mine was so I cut it a bit. But my wont stop when going up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Is that the little connector in there? What do I clean it with? there is some stuff that CRC makes called QD Electrical Contact Cleaner (QD=Quick Dry) - that stuff works great for cleaning electrical connectors. i've used it to clean various connectors on the engine wiring harness, my turn signal switch etc. just make sure it dries before plugging it back in. you should be able to find the stuff at Checker right by where all of the Brakleen and other fluids are. joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl3196 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Maybe I'll stop by and get some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godofthunder Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 i had to take mine apart since there was like a 6" piece broken off. Kinda wish i didnt now... If i have anything connected....the ground wire, or the antena wire...the motor goes crazy. Non stop. Without anything....its fine. I have the little point of the anteana wire in a screw hole on the antena...and its getting recepton, and working fine...but kinda scary. I think its one of the little copper wires in the electric motor touching the side of the motor. Im going to my dads shop friday, and were going to look at it to see what i can do. Im sure its just cleaning and rebuilding that motor a bit better. PS - it was hard as hell taking the right plastic cover off. I didnt even know how to do with without ruining the little plasitic rivits. jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
913_4se Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Yeah it looks the same as the one from the link i posted. The motor goes up and down, but when going up it will not stop and blows a fuse. Can't figure out what is wrong. Seems to fit in there just fine. see if the relay is kicking in and out you might need someone to help you do that turn on and off the key and hold on to the relay you sould feel or hear it snap in and out < power up and off> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
