brerben Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 My antenna is broken off and every time I turn off the Pathy with the radio on, the antenna motor makes this horrible grinding noise. It's trying to pull in the antenna but since it's broken, it doesn't go in. My simple question: which fuse would I pull to keep the antenna from trying to go down and where is it? Thanks!

jj big shoe Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I'm not sure, but I'd imagine the fuse protects a circuit with a few things on it including the antenna motor so pulling it would disable stuff you don't want to. Your best bet would be either disconnecting the power at the antenna motor or replacing it. Maybe someone with an R50 can chime in and help you locate the power connector.

FUELER Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 or just cut the power antenna wire on the back of your stereo or put a switch on it like I did. Radio shack 12V switch was a few bucks. Because I like to listen to my music when i'm in the car wash! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostPath Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Or you could simply replace the mast. That costs about $8-15 on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0ast Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 when its going up, start pulling it, and assuming its the mast gears that are broken, you can get it out. Then just wait for the new ebay antenna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
