Electric Aerial Problem

[Graham Keenan]

Hi all, I have an SC430 and the aerial does not raise, I can hear a relay clicking behind the trim panel when the radio power switch is operated. Can you advise where can I find a wiring diagram for the car please?

I don't know where you find a wiring diagram but a very common fault is the nylon drive within the aerial breaking. Maybe that's the problem?  A multimeter would confirm it.

Hi, had this problem with mine. It is the mast that will be the problem. Don't bother with any of the aftermarket ones, i tried two, neither of which worked correctly. The Lexus one worked perfectly.

 

Some good instructions here. If you follow them they work.
