So the other day the antenna made a loud noise and now doesnt work. well thats not too bad i can play cds but id like to fix it. Is ther a way i can test if the motors good or not? Im guessing its not but if i dont have to buy one i dont want too. If i go to the junkyard and get one wat years will fit my 92? will all 89-94s or what?Also i hear no noise when i put the radio on so the gear in there is probably fine.

 

If you can hear the motor working when you turn on your car/ radio your antenna motor works. Usually the motor outlives the antenna mast by a long time and I'm guessing that's what's wrong with yours.

Get on ebay and search for 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima Antenna and you'll find one for like $30. Chances are the junkyard one's are bad as well.

 

hey where in chicago are you located?....just outta curiousity

 

How hard is it to replace the mast only?

 

im right off harlem and irving, how bout urself?

well i hear no noise when turning the car on so is the antenna garbage? If i went to a junkyard (which i have and have seen what ;looked liek a good antenna) how would i check to see if it worked if thats possible?

 

Dude! you're like 5 minutes from my house, I'm by Central Ave

Oh and for the JY antenna, you'll be lucky if you get one. I live at the JY and I havent seen any good ones

 

damn, central and what, i used to go to portage park all the time.

well anyways when i was at victory (not the greatest place) they had one that i pulled from a max and it had tension in the antenna meaning that gear wasnt broke but i didnt wanna chance it and buy it.
