Ok, I just noticed this today. My Antenna does not go up or down when the buttons are pressed on the dash. But it does go up when the radio is turned on and goes down when I turn the radio off, or switch to CD. Anyone else experienced this? Thanks!

No. Mine work even though I've got an aftermarket stereo. You factory or aftermarket?

I have the factory stereo in it. The antenna goes up and down, but the buttons don't work on the dash. I think somthing might be disconnected.

Hmm..., the control panel is pretty easy to remove. Two screws at the ashtray, and two screws behind the little useless cubby hole slot above the stereo. Then whole panel can be worked free from the dash. Should be pretty easy to see if the snap-in harness has somehow come free from the up/down control switch (I tend to doubt that). May need to try a new control switch. Can't say that I've ever heard of one of those going bad... any of them for that matter, but if that's the only thing not working, it's a good a place as any to start.
