Hi

Its like a low buzzing sound. And is there any way to unplug the motor???

 

Three possible problems. Either the plastic cog inside theantennadevice has fallen off, the belt has fallen off or the belt has gone bad. When you're inside your trunk, remove or pull away the plastic covering that blocks your acess from getting to the antenna device. On the device, there should be a thick wire(s) connected to it. Pull it offand it should end the buzzing. However, you won't be able to raise or lower the antenna.

If you want to fix the problem, just pop open the antenna device with a screwdriver and inspect the thing for functionality. Mine had a missing cog so I went to the junk yard and got two of them. Works fine now. If you need a belt, PM me and I'll send you one.

 

HI

We figure it out its not the antanna its the sunroof motor, the switch for some reason got stuck to close pos, and now it dont work. Damn.
