My aerial wont go up or down. It just stopped working one day.

Is there a fuse for it somewhere?

Is there a common fault to look for with these?

Are the motors known to just die? Mine isnt making any noise, so it's not likely to be stuck, or trying to work at all.

I already pulled my deck out and checked the power aerial wire was still connected.

did you try connecting a wire straight from the battery onto it to make sure something in the deck isn't stuffed. also may be worth pulling out the plug that controls the height and making sure that it is connected properly

hey chris

it's an S1

which black/red wire?

there's a red/green wire hooked up to the headunit power aerial (blue) wire. it was working fine before.

also, while we're at it, what's this for? (see pic). it's bolted inside the rear quarter, just before the aerial.

fuel pump ballast resistor I believe.

ok does it have voltage on that wire in the back? pull the antenna out and check for power on the plug. it should show up in 3 places. one that has +12 on it. one should have +12v key and the last +12v radio.

if all 3 are there then its motor time.

do you mean the wire in the back of the headunit? will check when i get time, in the next 2 days

if thats showing 12v, then i'll take the antenna out of the rear quarter and check for voltage.

chris, could you give me a quick guide to removing the antenna?

theres only 2 bolts holding the antenna assembly from the inside. is that right?

and do i need to remove the external bit around the tip on the outside of the rear quarter?

i havent had time to get to it yet.

thanks mate

ok, i checked the voltages........finally, and i got 12v constant at one point, 12v on ignition at another 2 points, and 12v on 'tuner' at another point.

looks like the antenna is stuffed. i havent tracked one down yet.

can you answer these 2 questions for me? (refer to pic)

cheers.

ok bottom item is the water drain tube. that drains teh antenna so when you wash / runthe car trhrough water it doesnt stay in the motor and destroy it.

antenna wwire (top) will unplug. give it a good tug and it will release.

looking at that I think I can find one Identical to it in an aftermarket version.

happy to try if you want to send it up to me.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
