tbrigna Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I recently changed my mast on my ES250 and the power antenna won't self-adjust when it goes up...it just grinds until it times out. It works fine retracting. What should I do to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Call a good audio shop(s) to ask the same question to see what they suggest........try the basic stuff first like some lubricant to see if it free's it up. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlmoreno911 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Not sure but there should be a way to adjust it some how...where did you get yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Your old mast you removed may have broken and let a peice of plastic in the assembly causing it sto be grinding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 You're best bet is to remove the whole unit from the car and dismantle the mast and gearbox from the motor. It really isn't that difficult and it gives you the opportunity to regrease the inerds on a very old antenna system. You may find that there are indeed broken pieces of the old mast whip inside that are jamming things up. When you get everything back together, test it by plugging it into its wiring harness, but not installed into the car, and make sure it cycles properly up and down. Good luck.
