Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone has had issues with the electric aerial in Fairmonts? Mine is there it makes a noise, but it doesnt go up or down at all... Anyone with ideas on how to fix/disable it? I have removed the plug from my head unit, but it still fires up (or tries to) when the car starts. Is there another connection I can remove to stop it all together? Cheers |

pull the passenger side kickpanel off, and look where the aerial cable goes thru the side panel, there should be a couple of wires going through the panel beside it with a plug connecting them to the rest of the loom, unplug it and you'll be set!

Just about anyone has atleast one issue with the electric arials from EA through to EL.
Though mine works perfectly most of the time.

Though mine works perfectly most of the time. same here. mine hasn't stuffed up before. but it probably will one time *touch wood*. just replace it  . pull the panel off ( i think there are 6 screws) and just get a new one and plug it in. or the antenna might be loose and not connecting to the motor and thus not pushing....instead its slipping. good luck

If it making noise then the motors running. Chances are the mast is rooted. These can be replaced fairly easily, or it may just need a good clean out.
New masts are around $30

Cheers for the info.
Seems to be the mast, I'm grabbing one from ford wreckers soon. Have disabled it for now, so no more spastic noises from my aerial 
It's just so annoying when these little f**k things keep happening! Pat |
