Automatic Ariel Won't Go Up.

[manvr]

Hey I have a 1990 VN SS I recently installed a new stereo and the automatic antenna doesn't go up anymore. when I push the button to put it up it goes up and the reception improves but as soon as I let go the antenna goes down again.

Any suggestions????

Dude check your other thread... I answered your question 11 minutes before you started this one:

Yeah your aerial module is stuffed. Get a new one. Its a small black module inside your kick panel, about even with the glovebox. Around $40 for a new one, but be careful which one you get, as there were a few different ones in the VN's.

Either that or did you have the aerial replaced? Aerpro aerials do this also because they are not 100% compatible with some of the modules in commodores. They aremade to fit VN-VS or something, but theres several modules across that range of models, and the aerial doesnt get along with all of them.


Lastly, you can wire the aerial directly to the CD player and just throw the module away. This means that the aerial will go up when the radio is on and down when the radio is off. You won be able to use the aerial button anymore either.
