PWB Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) My '67 power antenna just decided to switch to slow mode. Fully charged battery and fresh lube on the outside telescoping parts. Why all the sudden the big slow down? Thanks Edited February 16, 2019 by PWB Typos (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68RIVGS Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 . . . just guessing here Mr. Paul, but maybe a bad chassis ground ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Start with a jumper wire from the antenna housing to the negative post of the battery. Might be the ground. Seems like that car should have an antenna relay; another set of connections, contacts, and ground to check. At least once a year I like to run any of the telescoping antenna up and down while holding a cloth with WD-40 against the mast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
