Electronic Antena Noise

[anton1o]

Hey, ive got this weird sound with my antena when it goes all the way to the top it makes this noise like that it wants to go up more and the antena motor is trying to send it up more it goes for like 5seconds also this happens when the antena has to go all the way down, makes the same noise same length of time.
Im no mechanic so just wondering what could be wrong and how much it would cost to get rid of this annoying sound

i would say your arial is bent. happened to mine when i went under a low tree. all i did to fix it was waited to it went as high as it can then i pulled it out as far as i could and bent it back to some sort of shape,

worked for me. hope this helps

Mine does it too, but mine is a brand new aftermarket type. Its just the cable motor unwinding the cable to full length when going up/the cable motor winding the cable to make it tight. No problem with it at all, just normal with an aftermarket type i guess.

Dont bend it if its bent, better off getting a new auto antenna mast replacement for around $10.
