Hello. My antenna is connected to the back of my Acura Integra, but it is going down and up. The motor makes this awful sound and is draining my car battery. I need to unhook the antennae. How difficult is it? Remove the panel and then what? Please help.
Thanks,
Chris
The panel snaps on and off from the inside of the trunk up to the wheel well. There are 2 10mm bolts on the drive's side and 1 on the passenger side. You have to take the little cover off the driver side shock access to find the 2nd one. then pop the plastics off starting @ the trunk. There are 2 wires on the antenna unit; a single power wire on the motor, and the fat black antenna wire. If there is not a connector on the motor itself, you will need to get to the wires behind the radio and cut the "blank" wire WHILE THE RADIO is ON and the ANTENNA is in the UP POSITION! Failure to do this step will mean NO radio reception to speak of. DO NOT unplug ANY of the connectors on the back of the radio without first calling a dealer and getting the code to activate said stock radio. You will need this code if your battery goes dead as well.
Here is a diagram. it shows there is a connector on the antenna motor itself.
