Power antenna problems....

I just got a new headunit and now my power antenna refuses to go up and down... all I hear is a click under the dash by the fuse panel... did I blow a relay or a fuse(didnt see one labeled power antenna... but it could be hiding on me)... any ideas on this?

maybe you hooked up the wrong trigger wire.

I don't think so since the wires colors are printed on each wire of the harness and on the top of the headunit so they match up... plus it still runs my amp correctly... I'm guessing its a problem elsewhere but I'll have to tear into that next weekend...

By the way Internetautomart... how do you usually ship the parts you sell (UPS, FedX, USPS... etc)? Its been more than a week since I ordered (oxygen sensor, fuel filter, pcv valve) and still no parts... they usually get here within a few days... any problems on the supply side or just slow shipping?

I had to wait a couple of days on the o2, but it's all on the way. I use fedex primarily, unless the package is real light then i'll use usps.
Let me know if you don't have it by tomorrow.

my 93 antenna motor died a couple years ago just pull the antenna up real easy and disconnect the motor electrical wires, unless you want to pay a couple of hundred to get the motor replaced

or get a new mast for around $50 and replace it yourself using the directions in the FAQ sites
