Why is it, ....?

Getting ready to move, selling lots of spare parts, boxed and shipped the spare OEM antenna today. I get in the car this evening, turn on the radio, crackle-hiss-crackle, ... no antenna.

My antenna generally won't go up if the switch is in the "Down-Off" position

Perhaps there's a reason it's named Brutus? Any Shakespere fans?

Don't know why it happens but it explains why I'm a hoarder of apparently useless parts.

I can agree with that Kerry, nothing breaks if you have a spare.

I shouldn't complain though, this is the one I bought with a 2-3 flare to replace the driveline with the 603 and trans, ... and I've driven it about 10,000miles without a problem.

Wait, that's why the engine and transmission have been so good; there's a spare waiting!

"Et tu Brute?"
