Antenna Motor Fried? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be PIN on  Thu Feb 16 17:27 CST 2006 [RELATED]

After turning on the radio this morning I heard the antenna motor making a strange noise.

Now the antenna is stuck in the up position. Even with the radio off the antenna remains up. I don't hear any activation in the antenna motor upon turning the radio or car off.

I pulled the cover back inside the trunk and looked at it. No loose wires or corroded parts. It simply isn't working.

I suppose it's not that serious. Naturally, I will never be able to take the car to a car-wash again and will have to hand wash it.

Is this worth repairing? Is it expensive? Can I just buy a motor with the same rating and replace it myself?
