Thanks for the update, getting the teeth on the antenna to line up is kind of a tricky thing to do.

Dang, I want to put in a switch to do the same thing but this concerns me a little. Try taking the switch out and wiring it directly again. Or probe the input wire to the switch and check it has voltage. Maybe the switch itself burn out.

I did check the power and connections earlier they are all good I checked the switch it is still good I haven't checked if the wire has been de crimped from the antenna it's self yet though

Hey Mike, did you ever figure this out? Would you suggest I should or should not put a switch in?

Sorry bit to reply haven't been on in a while put a switch in there is nothing wrong with doing that mine sometimes stops work then a few days later starts again the other day it stopped working I flipped the switch up it didn't go up I just left the switch on I looked back after about 15 minutes down the road and it came up the switch works well I would recommend putting a switch in cause some times you don't want a big antenna sticking out of the rear of your car

Cool man, thanks for the help. Sometimes I just want to use my MP3 Player and like you said, no need for the antenna.
 

Accel.speed

basically, i like fast!
Do yourself a favor...:

1) Pull the antenna all the way up
2) Grab a bat
3) Smack it like it just stole your sandwich
4) Replace with shorty S2k antenna.
5) Listen to awesomeness.
6) Enjoy your day without the alien radio antenna misfit

It's funny how much favorability of certain things can differ. I personally think the S2K antenna doesn't flow with the car, looks weird. I like having the antenna disappear so that it can't be damaged.

I don't like the short stubble antennas either with the power one you get an antenna then when you stop it's gone
