GM Power Antenna Repair - Replace Cable - Motor runs all the time

In this video, I replace the cable which pushes and pulls the antenna mast up and down.

When this plastic cable breaks, the antenna motor will run constantly and eventually burn out, after discharging the battery several times.

Often, when getting an older car going, you will find that the antenna has been disconnected to stop the motor. After replacing the broken cable, you will probably have to locate and reconnect the wiring.

The parts which I used came from Zip Corvette parts. The part number and contact information is below:

The replacement cable is reasonably priced compared to a new antenna assmebly. These antennas are very well built and you will not be able to purchase any aftermarket antenna mechanism that even comes close to this quality.
