My radio antenna no longer extends when the radio is on - im guessing the recent cold wet weather has killed it somehow.
are there any diagnostics i can do to check if the motor is working? Is there a way to manually make it extend to test?
car is a rev 3 turbo, and i havent been working on it or doing anything electrical recently.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] radio antenna has died
ok...a little help needed!
is there a way to pull a fuse to the antenna motor, or unplug it?
I pulled away the boot carpet and its buzzing like hell, even with the keys out of the ignition - and it shocked me when i touched the motor.
Not Good!

the aerial has I think 2 connector blocks, just pull them free and that will stop power going to the unit. Use the 5 pound solution as described in the other thread here to restore your radio solution
