I own a 2002 landcruiser. The electic antenna will not go up and down. I can hear the antenna motor running but the antenna does not move. I can pull the antenna up and down maually. Thanks,

go to shop sir they will help you sir

You will need to find a different power source for the aerial motor. You need a lead that comes from the radio instead of the ignition. Most radios have a blue lead that is a remote wire used to turn an amp on and off or the antenna motor.

Usually the antenna is operated by a spool and a reel of stuff like white nylon or plastic "wire".
When you push or turn the switch or when you turn on the radio, however the antenna is supposed to go up, the spool will turn in the direction to extend the string and push the antenna up.
When you turn off the radio, or move the switch to "retract", the spool will turn and wind up the string and pull the antenna down. These strings often break, usually they only last about 5 years.
The motor you seek is inside the fender or the trunk, as the case may be, and it is hidden behind the inner fender shield or in the trunk, behind the inner trunk panel.
The motor is hidden to prevent snow, ice, water, and dirt from ruining it.
Be blessed.

if you try to operate the window as you move the door from close to open and it works then stops when moving the door then it could be the wiring that passes from the body of the car to the door itself were the door opens.it should have a rubber cover that covers the wiring.these have a tendency to brake wires in this area that will touch and not touch when the door is moved.the trunk and antenna could be a fuse problem that can be checked with a test light.when you turn off the radio do you hear the motor working,if so then the antenna motor will have to be replaced.you should also hear the trunk pull down motor working.does it raise up with the trunk lid open or stay down.it could need replacing.make sure the connector hasn`t been disconnected.

if u hear motor not elect problem -most likely linkage unbolted from motor with motor running try to move the wiper arms if move freely than need to remove cowl and check the linkage hook up to motor -if wipers dont move freely than possible motor damage/seized linkage damaged but still would have to look under cowl at connection at linkage

You need to pull the fuse for the antenna or just unplug it. It has a fairly ridgid plastic wire that pushes the antenna up and down. Works fine until the wire breaks then it rolls up (antenna down) but it never increases resistance because the antenna never comes down , it's like a fishing reel when the lure breaks off, so the motor thinks that the antenna is still coming down and it will run and run and run trying to do it's job. Your lucky it stuck up and not down. If you want your antenna to go up and down again you'll have to buy and install a new one.

Fault in the retractor assy. Is the mast bent. If it is gently try to straighten best possible lube with silicone spray. With someone turn off the radio , try manually putting antenna down with the palm of your hand squezzed around mast and forcing. Do the same going up, pull by the end tip ,

1: an electical problem (blown switch, blown motor, loose conection...)
2: a broken regulator (pressing the window switch, listen for the motor in side the door too make noise. if you can hear the motor but the glass doesn't move it's your regulator, if you can't hear the motor it's electrical).

The flex drive cord that raises the antenna mast and lowers it is most likely broken, you can replace just the mast and drive cord.

Look in the trun k on the ant side and pull back the the felt and you will see where it connects and disconnects. You have a broken antenna lead. At the bottom of all electronic antennas is a plastic lead that fits in the motor to wind the antenna up or down.The motor is still good you only need to replace the stem. Good luck.
