Guest wheelsport Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 My power antenna just up and died in the down position. I have power at the connector in the rear fender area. I found that there is a relay somewhere in the car but don't know where. I doubt that is the problem. I suspect the motor. Can the motor be replaced or will I have to replace the complete unit?

THIS IS NECESSARY FOR ANYONE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THEIR CAR THEMSELVES. Do you have power to the motor? That is the first thing to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wheelsport Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Like I said, there is power at the antenna. I don't have a TC manual but I do have an '89 LeBaron manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Dude Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 You wrote "I found that there is a relay somewhere in the car but don't know where. I doubt that is the problem." The relay is located behind the radio itself, in the cluster of wires running to and from the radio. (Foam taped to the main harness forward of center console below radio) QUOTED FROM THE TC SHOP MANUAL. So, here you have the entire Antenna Circuit. You can see that you would have power even if the relay has failed to operate. From fuse #7, in and out of the relay to the single wire connector at the antenna.

Hemi Dude Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I was just going through my inventory from my 23 year business and found a brand new relay 4421570 Amplifier/Antenna, in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I repair GM power antenna and your schematic is pretty much the same. When the ignition key is turned off........power to the radio is dropped and the radio sends 12v to the relay which is dropped and causes the antenna to go DOWN. When the ignition key (and radio) are on, 12V goes to the relay which is picked and that causes the antenna to go UP So with the key OFF there will always be 12 v on the red wire going to the relay (unless the fuse is bad) ...the white wire coming out of the relay will also have 12v (the DG wire (dark green?) will be grounded When the radio is on (ignition on) the relay picks and DG will/should have 12v and GY (grey?) becomes ground.

Guest wheelsport Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I finally got around to looking into my antenna relay troubles. Previously I found the Standard RY-79 relay purported to be the relay for the TC on E-Bay. Once I located the relay in the car I found that the Standard RY-79 must fit something else. NAPA doesn't carry the correct part and no one else could find it either. I did find the right relay on E-Bay for under $3. Jeep dealers also carry it on line. Thanks for the help guys!

Relay) 04463357 1 Anti-Lock Brake (Motor Relay) 04463358 1 Anti-Lock Brake (Main Relay) see item H above 36003031 That is just swell, both my 1989 and 1990-91 parts lists have the part number 4421570 listed for the Amplifier/Antenna. However, the other number is also on the packaging, IF you are able to see that. (36003031 but that is not a normal Chrysler part number). Your list is apparently not a GENUINE Chrysler part number list from that era, because we did not use the ZERO ahead of a 7 digit part number. In either case, the relay is listed for the antenna, whether it works with the door lock relay or the amplifier is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty mopar Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) I copied and pasted the list from the part book the ZERO in front of the # is an artifact of the way Chrysler listed part #s in the part book 36003031 is not a normal Chrysler part number ....true ..... I have other part numbers that start with 3600 and all are Jeep/Eagle 36003031 also fits these applications: 1993 NY/Imperial 1991-92 Monaco 1996-97 Cherokee here's one for 9.00 http://www.morris4x4center.com/power-antenna-relay.html looks like a 6 terminal relay pictured Edited October 29, 2016 by marty mopar (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wheelsport Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 After buying the wrong relay and finally finding the correct one for $3, I found that the relay isn't the problem. The antenna motor is bad. I was able to tug hard enough to pull the ariel up so I can listen to the radio. Has any one found a source for the correct antenna?

marty mopar Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I have the antenna NOS or used. this is the motor and antenna complete the antenna mast pkg was serviced also if you just need it.

Reaper1 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I can confirm that aftermarket units can work as my driver TC has a non-stock power antenna in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemi Dude Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I also have a generous supply of NOS antenna masts in stock. If interested, use MESSAGES at the top of the page next to the bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
