power Antenna works opposite....
Just replaced the power antenna mast in my car, (lets just say it aint my Barracuda) and now the mast raises when I turn the radio OFF and retracts when I turn in on! What happened? Its like this. I put the radio in ANT mode to release the antrenna (AM and TAPE while turning car to ACC) according to the instructions. It came out all right. I popped the cover off the gearbox and removed the rest of the broken belt. Snapped it back on and fed the new belt into the mast socket. I turn the radio off, and the gear is trying to push the antenna out (raise) again! I turn the radio on and the darn thing sucks the antenna back into the base. Its A$$ backwards now and I cant figure out how to get it back in phase. And no, I didnt wire the motor backwards. Id there a relay that can be unplugged/plugged when its working to get it back in phase? Its on a Lexus, but it looks to be the same procedure as most other cars including newer Mopars. Feeling stupid....and my wife is just shaking her head....HELP!
