Good evening all

I am having a problem with my antenna. The antenna seems to have a mind of its own, and it will rise and lower at will. Sometimes when I start the car, it will take about 3-5 minutes to extend. Other times the antenna will retract while I am cruising down the road.

I have tightened the ground strap, and ensured all the wires are tight. When the antenna retracts, the radio remains on. Only seldom will it extend once it has retracted until i cut the car off and restart. Is there anything i can do to possibly remedy this problem?

Thank you for your time with reading and responding to my post.

Clean the switch on the dash. They can be temperamental fools when they age. Do you still have it connected to the Becker?

Thank you guys for your reply. I will check the wiring and switch. I have it hooked to a Sony explode head unit.

Yes it did. It wasn't until it had been installed for month or so that it began messing up.
