Sounds like a switch is stuck or a component in the box has shorted and is sending the signal to the motor to rotate.

The control box is either shorted out the switch is bad and is sending a signal to the motor to actuate. Check the control box.

you have to remove the tail light assemble to get the antenna and motor out. Remove the 10mm nuts and unplug the harness from the lamp assembly. Carefully remove the assembly, to save the seal. It has to slide to the outside a little to clear the two outer studs.
Remove the back and right side quarter panels. loosen two 10mm nuts for the antenna, remove the retaining ring fender; remove 10mm nuts; unplug power and antenna leads; move bottom of assembly forward to clear fender; remove through tail light hole.

The antenna mast is extended and retracted with a flexible strip of plastic cable with teeth. The antenna motor turns a gear which drives the cable in (mast down) or out (mast up). These cables do break. You can buy a whole new power antenna assembly or just the plastic cable. Replacing the cable isn't hard, just tricky-- getting the cable to coil up properly inside the antenna assembly can be a pain. You probably can grab the antenna and extend it manually, but you may not be able to push it back in.

remove the mud guard cover.
you will find the antenna motor assembly.
unscrew the bolt, connector and lock and you can proceed to replacing either the antenna rod or the whole assembly.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO RATE!!!!

Some antennas require a special socket to remove the locknut


Once its loose the nut can be removed by hand. Sometimes it can be twisted off with a needle nose pliers, but that usually ruins the tool


The antenna mounts in the luggage compartment against the support member


The motor and housing sit on a stand that is bolted to the support member


Unplug the antenna lead from the staff tube


Unplug the connector to the motor


Unplug the connector to the relay


Its easier to remove the antennae from the support to gain access to the ground strap screws

To install:
NOTE Correct sequencing for installation is important to prevent water leakage or dimpling of the quarter panel

1. Connect the antenna cable, power connector and control box connector.
   
2. Insert the antenna mast through the quarter panel hole and position bracket on mounting studs in the luggage compartment.
   
3. Install the stanchion assembly.
   
4. Loosely install the two bracket retaining nuts.

You don't. Go to a salvage yard and buy a used antenna unit and replace the entire assembly.

Or, to save money, take a pliers and extend the antenna out. It won't retract, but you can still enjoy your radio.

I will take a look at mine tomorrow. Mine stays up because the nylon cord thingy is stripped. No biggy for me though. I have taken it apart so I know it is stripped I just can't remember how it all goes together.
