Power Antenna
1. Antenna not operating check Fuse 5 in the Junction Block. If not OK, replace fuse. If OK, test for battery at the antenna wire connector. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, repair as necessary.Power Antenna Assembly:
2. To extend antenna, using jumper wires, attach one end to a battery positive source and the other to the red and green wire terminals for up direction. Connect the second lead to a good ground or to the antenna mounting bracket.
3. To retract antenna attach the battery positive source to the red wire terminal for the down direction. Connect the second lead to a good ground or to the antenna mounting bracket.
4. If the motor will not operate, replace the antenna assembly
5. If the motor runs freely and the antenna does not extend or retract, the mast or drive assembly is at fault. Remove the mast and verify that all the drive teeth are intact. If not replace mast.
6. If the mast jumps or travel rate is slow during operation or the motor labors.
a. Check for bent mast. If bent replace mast.
b. Check for dirty mast and clean it as necessary. If corroded, replace mast.
NOTE: Do not grease or lubricate the mast.
c. If cleaning the antenna mast does not solve the problem, the antenna mast should be replaced.
7. If mast fails to extend or retract completely, or motor continued to operate after full extension or retraction of mast. Check for broken teeth on the mast drive rod or bent mast.
8. If the mast checks good, the antenna assembly should be replaced.
