hey yall, I havent been around in a long time, so here I go, when I turn of my RX-7 I my power antenna will not go down unless I have the shifter in reverse, its really odd, my car's wiring is just all screwed up anyway, so Im not all that opposed to just dealing with it as it is if It cant be fixed without lots of work. any ideas?

You always could just run a new wire from the stereo to the antenna. In most new stereos, it's a blue wire comming out the back. The same one that turns on an auxillary stereo amp.



If that doesn't work, take out the noisy motor and antenna and just put in a cool sporty black stationary antenna.

I was thinking about doing just that, any thoughts on where to get one, or prices?

It could be that the wire for your antenna is somehow near the shifter. You really need to dig into the car to see what's wrong.
