QuestionDoes the antenna and top run off the same motor? The top worked fine until I had a after market antenna put on to replace the broken original. Now the top won't go down/up with motor (can't even hear the motor run).
AnswerHi ShaShonni,
Sounds like when the AFT antenna was installed, someone stole a ground strap or a power wire for the installation not thinking it would affect anything else. Start by re-checking the fuses and then move on to testing the wire at the top-motor for power. If power is getting to it, test the motor by connecting power AND ground to it. If it functions, a bad ground is the problem if it still does not function, bad motor.
Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).
Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
