Finally got my antenna working - all it needed was stripping down, cleaning and putting back together. Here is what happens now:

When stereo is turned on, antenna goes up about half way

When I push the Series II antenna switch up, the antenna goes all the way up and when it is down, it is about half way.

When playing CD's the antenna remains at about half way.

Is this normal or should the antenna come down fully when the antenna switch is in the down position?

Cheers, Al

When your switch is in the 'half way' postion, your antenna should be at half mast. When it's in the 'full extended' position the antenna should be fully extended, regardless of whether playing cd's or listening to radio. I say since you've got your aerial going up everytime you switch on stereo, don't worry about whether it sits at half or full.

Cheers

What head unit are you using as I know that some head units, such as Alpine, that is a function of the unit itself?

Mine is a Panasonic MP3/CD unit without that functionality

Some of the decks don't have an arial cable to connect the arial to so that it willonly goup if your listening to the radio so then the car arial cable will have to be hooked up to the deck remote and so this will get the arial up as soon as you trun it on.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
